The effects of the dialysis on the white matter tracts in patients with end-stage renal disease using differential tractography study.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine whether white matter tracts correlate with kidney function using correlation tractography, and to investigate the effects of dialysis on white matter tracts in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) using differential tractography. Ten patients with ESRD, who had a glomerular filtration rate of < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2, were enrolled in this prospective study. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed both before and after dialysis. We discovered that white matter tracts correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate based on pre- and post-dialysis DTI using correlation tractography and investigated the differences in the white matter tracts between pre- and post-dialysis DTI in patients with ESRD using differential tractography.
