Cognitive Impairment and Structural Neuroimaging Abnormalities Among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

Dialysis modality showed no association with cognitive impairment, although hemodialysis patients had more severe neuroimaging abnormalities. For the whole group, white matter hyperintensity, and ventricular and hippocampal atrophy, were independently associated with global cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease patients.
