To investigate the structure and function changes in the brain in uremic RLS patients using a resting-state function magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigm, we used A voxel-based morphometry(VBM) method and a seed-based method to find the abnormiy in end-stage kidney disease patients. Our results suggest that the characteristics of the connectivity changes may reflect the pathways involved in producing uremic RLS symptoms.
