Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations in the brain cortical structures of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been reported; however, the cause has not been determined yet. Herein, we used Mendelian randomization (MR) to reveal the causal effect of kidney damage on brain cortical structure. METHODS: Genome-wide association studies summary data of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in 480,698 participants...
