Demographics of Enrolled Subjects
| CKD | Control | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (years)* | 57.3 ± 8.9 | 56.7 ± 9.2 | 0.79 |
| Sex (M:F)† | 18:18 | 18:18 | 1.00 |
| Education (years)* | 11.5 ± 3.3 | 12.5 ± 4.5 | 0.30 |
| Handness (Lt:Rt)† | 3:33 | 2:34 | 0.64 |
*Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation and p-values are calculated by student's t-test.
† p-values are calculated by chi-squared test.
CKD = chronic kidney disease, Lt = left, Rt = right
Fig. 1Voxel-wise plot of the family-wise error corrected t-statistics for the difference in CBF between patients with CKD and the normal controls, overlayed onto an MNI 152 template (p < 0.01).
The orange-red clusters demonstrate regions where CBF is greater in patients with CKD than in normal controls. The small blue spots are regions where CBF is less in patients with CKD than in normal controls.
CBF = cerebral blood flow, CKD = chronic kidney disease
