Abstract:
Each stage of chronic kidney disease has a high risk of cognitive dysfunction.The decline of cognitive function will affect the daily life and treatment compliance of the patients with chronic kidney disease and increase the patients' risk of death and public health burden,which has aroused widespread concern.However,the specific mechanism of cognitive impairment in the patients with chronic kidney disease remains unclear.This paper summarizes the possible association mechanisms,related indicators,and impaired cognitive domains,aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the early diagnosis and slow down the progression of the cognitive impairment associated with chronic kidney disease.
