Chronic kidney disease and its association with cerebral small vessel disease in the general older hypertensive population

Cerebral small vessel disease can be identified using magnetic resonance imaging, and includes white matter hyperintensities, lacunar infarcts, cerebral microbleeds, and brain atrophy. Cerebral small vessel disease and chronic kidney disease share many risk factors, including hypertension. This stud...

Description
Summary:Cerebral small vessel disease can be identified using magnetic resonance imaging, and includes white matter hyperintensities, lacunar infarcts, cerebral microbleeds, and brain atrophy. Cerebral small vessel disease and chronic kidney disease share many risk factors, including hypertension. This study aims to explore an association between chronic kidney disease and cerebral small vessel disease, and also to explore the role of hypertension in this relationship. With a cross sectional study design, data from 390 older adults was retrieved from the general population study Good Aging in Skåne. Chronic kidney disease was defined as glomerular filtration rate
