Static and Dynamic Characteristics of Functional Network Connectivity in Neurologically Asymptomatic Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis: A Resting-State Functional MRI Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The characteristics of static functional network connectivity (sFNC) and dynamic FNC (dFNC) in neurologically asymptomatic patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis are unknown. Elucidating these characteristics may improve our understanding of the mechanisms of neuropathological damage in these patients.

Purpose

To explore the static and dynamic characteristics of FNC in neurologically asymptomatic patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis and the relationship between FNC-related parameters with the neuropsychological scores and blood biomarkers.

Study type

Retrospective.

Population

A total of 23 neurologically asymptomatic patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis and 25 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and years of education.
