Neuropathologic Findings in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Studying the neuropathologic autopsy findings in subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or chronic renal failure (CRF) is difficult for several reasons: etiology of the CKD may be heterogeneous, affected patients may have one or more major co-morbidities that themselves can cause significant neurologic disease, and agonal events may result in significant findings that were of minimal significance earlier in a patient's life. We studied the constellation of neuropathologic abnormalities in 40 autopsy brains originating from subjects of ages 34-95 years (no children in the study).
