Background: Given the increasing worldwide prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), it
is critical to decrease the associated risk of debilitating vascular complications, including …

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD)
experience an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease and cognitive dysfunction …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to monitor cerebral tissue oxygenation (rSO2)
depending on cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume and blood oxygen content …

The high frequency of cognitive impairment in individuals on hemodialysis is well
characterized. In-center hemodialysis patients are disproportionately affected by cognitive …

Background: Endothelium is the inner cellular lining of the vessels that modulates multiple
biological processes including vasomotor tone, permeability, inflammatory responses …

Aims High‐flow arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for haemodialysis leads to profound
haemodynamic changes and sometimes to heart failure (HF). Cardiac output (CO) is divided …

Background Cognitive deficit is a common problem in end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
patients. Ultrafiltration and hemodialysis lead to profound hemodynamic changes. The aim …

Background A decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is reportedly associated
with increased prevalence rates of cognitive impairment. However, data concerning the …

Background Altered cerebral blood flow (CBF) and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation
(ALFF) have been reported in hemodialysis patients. However, neurovascular coupling …

Hemoglobin (Hb) is associated with cerebral oxygenation status owing to its important role
of carrying oxygen to systemic tissues. However, data concerning the associations between …
