Prevalence and Risk of Severe Cognitive Impairment in Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease
2018
Background
Our primary goal is to describe the prevalence, severity, and risk of cognitive impairment (CI) by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, in mL/min/1.73 m2) in a cohort enriched for advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD; eGFR < 45), adjusting for albuminuria, as measured by urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR, in mg/g). As both eGFR and albuminuria are associated with CI risk in CKD, we also seek to determine the extent that eGFR remains a useful biomarker for risk of CI in those with CKD and concomitant albuminuria.
