Structural brain abnormalities in children and young adults with severe chronic kidney disease

ConclusionsYoung CKD patients seem at risk for widespread disruption of white matter integrity and to some extent smaller subcortical volume (i.e., nucleus accumbens). Especially patients on dialysis therapy and patients who received a kidney transplant may be at risk for disruption of white matter integrity and smaller volume of the nucleus accumbens.Graphical abstract
