Diffusion tensor MR neurography reveals altered sciatic and tibial nerve microstructure in chronic dialysis patients

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study used special MRI scans to look at nerves in 30 people on dialysis. It compared them to 30 healthy controls. The scans showed changes in the structure of the nerves in the dialysis group. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
