Brain microbleeds (BMBs) detected on gradient echo T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (GE-MRI) may be pathophysiologically linked to ischemic cerebral small-vessel disease (SVD) and increased risk of future hemorrhagic stroke. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been associated with the presence of BMBs in stroke patients. However, the relationship between CKD markers and BMBs in stroke-free populations is unknown.
