Background
Cognitive impairment is common in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESRD). White matter alternation is important pathologic change in cognitive impairment, and fixel-based analysis quantifies the fiber loss. The study is to elucidate the white matter alternation in uremic cognitive impairment patients .
Methods
The study period was from August 2019 to December2020. The participants were divided into three groups according to the MMSE score and the status with end stage renal disease or not: (1) control (n=16): MMSE>24 without end stage renal disease; (2)group2 (n=17): end stage renal disease with MMSE 25~30; (3) group 3 (n=14): end stage renal disease with MMSE10~24. All participants received magnetic resonance imaging and hematologic and biochemical parameters. Fixel-based analysis was performed to assess the fiber density.
Results
The fiber density, the fiber cross section and the summation of the fiber density and cross section were lower in the ESRD patients. The decrease in corpus callosum and fornix/stria terminalis was associated with the decrease in Montreal Cognitive Assessment(p<0.05). The concentration of calcium(8.80± 0.79mg, vs 9.27± 0.29mg for control group, p<0.05) was lower in ESRD patients. The serum concentration of calcium was positive associated with the fiber density in the corpus callosum and fornix/stria terminalis(p<0.05).
Conclusion
The white mater density decreased in the ESRD patients, and the decrease was associated with cognitive impairment. Serum calcium positively correlated with the fiber density in corpus callosum and fornix terminalis.
