EXPRESS: Comprehensive assessment of the cerebral pressure-flow relationship in chronic kidney disease

Key takeaways

This study looked at how blood pressure affects blood flow to the brain in people with kidney disease. It involved 17 adults with kidney disease and 17 healthy controls. The results show a link between kidney health and brain blood flow, but they do not prove cause and effect.
