Cognitive impairment in patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease: the Salford kidney cohort study.

Journal: Clinical kidney journal
Published Date: Nov 3, 2020

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and underrecognized [1, 2]. Determining risk factors for cognitive impairment and whether speed of CKD progression is an important consideration may help identify cognitive impairment by nephrologists. Vascular disease is thought to underpin cognitive impairment in CKD and by segregating CKD patients with proven vascular disease, we may also be able to discover other important associations with cognitive impairment in CKD patients.
