- Abstract
The diagnosis of uraemic encephalopathy is considered if patients with end-stage renal disease present with neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, cognitive deficits may occur in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) long before any overt neurological symptoms can be observed. We hypothesized that cognitive dysfunction in patients with CKD both, treated and untreated by haemodialysis, may correspond to metabolic changes in distinct brain regions.
