Repeated conventional hemodialysis may result in permanent cerebrovascular dysfunction that can initiate and exacerbate other cerebral structural abnormalities. Until today, the longitudinal WMH burden changes in old end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients following the initiation of hemodialysis treatment have not been specifically studied. We performed a prospective pilot study with a hypothesis that WMH burden increases following the initiation of hemodialysis in old ESRD patient. Our study results suggested that WMH burdens increased significantly after the initiation of hemodialysis treatment.
