A [15O]H2O PET-CT Pilot Study Comparing Cerebral Blood Flow Before, During and After Hemodialysis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating [15O]H2O PET-CT scan and NIRS (Invos) for Haemodialysis-induced Symptom. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the hemodialysis procedure on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in elderly maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients. The investigators hypothesize that HD induced blood pressure changes are associated with a fall in global and/or regional CBF during HD. Second, the investigators hypothesize that near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) will correlate with CBF measured by\[15O\]H2O PET.
