Tissue sodium stores in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients determined by sodium-23 magnetic resonance imaging

Tissue sodium content in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) were previously explored using 23Sodium magnetic resonance imaging (23NaMRI). Larger studies would provide a better understanding of sodium stores in patients on dialysis as well as the factors influencing this sodium accumulation.In this cross-sectional study, we quantified the calf muscle and skin sodium content in 162 subjects (10 PD, 33 MHD...
