Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Cognitive decline is common in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients, yet its neural mechanisms are poorly understood. This study investigates structural and functional brain network reconfiguration in ESRD patients transitioning to Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and evaluates its potential for predicting MCI risk.
