Cognitive impairment is common in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), while relative studies are not so abundant as other degenerative diseases. With VBM and voxel-based analysis of CBF generated with ASL, this study compared GM, WM and CBF changes between CKD patients with and without cognitive impairment, and revealed some significant brain changes in cognition impaired patients treated with long term hemodialysis.
