Background and Purpose—This scientific statement provides an overview of the evidence
on vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia. Vascular contributions to …

Cognitive impairment, including dementia, is a common but poorly recognized problem
among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), affecting 16–38% of patients …

Background Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a common condition among the elderly, is
defined as a deterioration of memory, attention, and cognitive function that exceeds what …

Objective: To evaluate the longitudinal relationship between moderate chronic kidney
disease (CKD), decline in kidney function, and microalbuminuria with subsequent cognitive …

Results Among 3591 participants, the mean age was 58.2±11.0 years, and the mean
estimated GFR (eGFR) was 43.4±13.5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2. Cognitive impairment was …

BACKGROUND: Albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are each
associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment, but their joint association is …

Background: Elevated serum uric acid has been associated with cognitive dysfunction and
vascular cognitive impairment in the elderly. Serum uric acid is also commonly elevated in …

OBJECTIVE: Cognitive impairment is relatively common in end-stage renal disease patients
on chronic hemodialysis, but the course of cognitive function deterioration in hemodialysis …

OBJECTIVES: To examine the relationship between the incidence of dementia and chronic
kidney disease (CKD). DESIGN: Longitudinal data analyses. SETTING: Baseline data and …

Results The prevalence of albuminuria< 10, 10 to 29, and≥ 30 mg/24 h was 54%, 31%, and
15%, respectively. Mean eGFR (±SD) was 79±15 ml/min per 1.73 m 2. Because of …
