Multiscale signatures of cortical hierarchical alterations and dialysis-associated preservation in end-stage renal disease.
Key takeaways
This study used brain scans to look at how the brain is organized in people with end-stage kidney disease. It compared people on dialysis, people not on dialysis, and healthy controls. The scans showed differences in brain structure and function. This is an observational study, so it shows a link between kidney disease and brain changes, but it does not prove that dialysis causes the brain to preserve its structure.
