Changes of the Cerebral Metabolite Patterns in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis due to Chronic Renal Failure: Evaluation with Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Abstract:Purpose:We wanted to evaluate the cerebral metabolites in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and who were undergoing hemodialysis by performing proton MR spectroscopy and we wanted to evaluate the correlation between the changes in the cerebral metabolite ratios and the duration after starting the initial hemodialysis. Materials and Methods: Proton MR spectroscopy was performed in 15 patients with CRF and who were undergoing hemodialysis and in ten healthy volunteers. The changes in N-acetylaspartate (N… Show more
