Progresses of mechanisms of brain injuries of end-stage renal disease based on MRI / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) can lead to various serious neurological complications, acute cerebrovascular disease and cognitive impairment are the most common ones. In recent years, a variety of new MRI techniques have been applied to elucidate the underlying neuropathological mechanisms of brain injuries in ESRD, and some progresses has been made, which is of great significance for early diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The progresses of mechanisms of brain injuries of ESRD based on MRI were reviewed in this article.
