Haemodialysis alters peripheral nerve morphology in end-stage kidney disease

Highlights • Patients with end-stage kidney disease had larger and more hypoechoic nerves compared to normal controls. • The degree of nerve enlargement correlated significantly with electrophysiological parameters and clinical severity. • There was a significant decrease in nerve cross-sectional ar...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Patients with end-stage kidney disease had larger and more hypoechoic nerves compared to normal controls. • The degree of nerve enlargement correlated significantly with electrophysiological parameters and clinical severity. • There was a significant decrease in nerve cross-sectional area and hypoechoic fraction following a single dialysis session.
