An association of cognitive impairment with diabetes and retinopathy in end stage renal disease patients under peritoneal dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes and retinopathy have been considered as risk factors of cognitive impairment (CI) in previous studies. We investigated both of these two factors and their relationship with global and specific cognitive functions in end stage renal disease patients under peritoneal dialysis (PD).

Methods
