Silent Brain Lesions in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Hidden Burden

Paper No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This review covers silent brain lesions in people with chronic kidney disease: small areas of damage that show up on brain scans without causing obvious symptoms. They are common in kidney patients and are linked to later stroke and memory problems. The article gathers what is known and argues the problem is under-recognized. It is a narrative review, so it pools no new numbers of its own.
