However, the mechanisms underlying neurological complications of ESKD are poorly understood. Research on brain connectivity in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) is limited. In this study, we aimed to examine alterations in functional brain connectivity in patients with ESKD undergoing PD compared to the control group using functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We prospectively enrolled 20 patients with ESKD who had been receiving PD for more than 6 months and had no prior history of psychiatric or neurological diseases, along with 20 healthy controls. The fNIRS data were obtained using an NIRSIT Lite instrument. After processing all the data, we used Pearson correlation analysis to create a weighted connectivity matrix. Functional connectivity measures were derived from the connectivity matrix using graph theory. Functional connectivity measures were compared between the controls and patients with ESKD undergoing PD.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The average degree, average strength, and small-worldness were significantly lower in patients with ESKD undergoing PD than in the controls (9.333 [8.000\u2009~\u200911.433] vs. 12.733 [9.600\u2009~\u200913.400],
