Unruptured intracranial aneurysms in haemodialysis patients
View through CrossRef
SUMMARY: While the mortality rate of subarachnoid haemorrhage is very high in haemodialysis (HD) patients, the prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms in HD patients has not yet been elucidated. We performed cerebral magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) on 123 HD patients who did not have symptomatic cerebrovascular disease, and on 52 control subjects. On the basis of these images, the prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms was evaluated. Unruptured aneurysms were found in three HD patients (2.4%). There were no aneurysms found in the healthy control group. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of unruptured aneurysms between HD patients and healthy controls. Therefore, the incidence of intracranial aneurysms is not associated with chronic renal failure.
