[Study on the changes of spontaneous brain activity in maintenance hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease based on three different resting state-functional magnetic resonance low-frequency amplitude algorithms].

Abstract

In ESRD patients, spontaneous brain activity was reduced in multiple brain regions, mainly located in default mode network(DMN), which might be the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of their brain damage. Controlling serum potassium and hemoglobin levels was essential to prevent the progression of brain damage in ESRD patients.
