The effects of the dialysis on the white matter tracts in patients with end-stage renal disease using differential tractography study.
Scientific Reports 2023 November 17
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. Correlation tractography revealed no quantitative anisotropy of the white matter tracts that correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate in pre- and post-dialysis patients with ESRD. Differential tractography revealed significant differences in several white matter tracts, particularly the cingulum, thalamic radiation, corpus callosum, and superior longitudinal fasciculus, between pre- and post-dialysis DTI, which revealed increased diffusion density after dialysis. We demonstrated the significant effects of dialysis on several white matter tracts in patients with ESRD using differential tractography, which showed increased diffusion density after dialysis. In this study, we confirmed the effects of dialysis on brain structure, especially white matter tracts.
