Clinical study of cerebrovascular vents in patients undergoing maintenance dialysis-comparing cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction.

Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy Guidelines for Management of Cardiovascular Diseases in Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis

“…Cerebral hemorrhage in dialysis patients is mainly caused by hypertension, produces larger hematoma than in non‐dialysis patients, and is associated with poor prognosis.
