Prevalence and Risk of Severe Cognitive Impairment in Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

One quarter of those with eGFR < 30 had severe CI. eGFR < 30 was associated with over threefold increased odds of severe CI in those with UACR < 30, but not with UACR > 30, suggesting that eGFR < 30 is a valid biomarker for increased risk of severe CI in those without concomitant albuminuria.
