This resting-state fMRI study reveals altered brain activity in diabetic kidney disease, suggesting implications for neural impairment.
Our findings indicate that DKD patients exhibit distinct patterns of brain activity compared to non-DKD patients, with the putamen potentially acting as a key neural target in the progression of CKD. These functional alterations correlate closely with systemic status, suggesting a significant role in the pathogenesis of neural impairment. Our results may enhance the understanding of neural functional alterations and the underlying mechanisms in non-DKD and DKD patients.
