终末期肾病患者的脑多模态MRI研究进展

Progress of multimodality MRI study on brain of end stage renal disease

终末期肾病(end stage renal disease,ESRD)患者存在多种神经系统并发症,严重影响患者的生活质量并增加病死率。近年来,许多无创性MRI新技术已用于ESRD患者隐匿性脑损伤的研究,进而探明其潜在的病理生理学机制。作者就近年来MRI新技术在ESRD研究中的应用进行综述。

End stage renal disease has many neurological complications, which seriously affect the patient＇s quality of life and increase the mortality. In recent years, many noninvasive MRI techniques have been used in the study of occult brain damage in patients with ESRD, and proving up the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The recent research progresses of advanced MRI techniques in ESRD were reviewed in this article.
