Visuospatial and Executive Dysfunction in Patients With Acute Kidney Injury, Chronic Kidney Disease, and Kidney Failure: A Multilevel Modeling Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neurocognitive impairment is a common finding across the spectrum of kidney disease and carries important consequences for quality of life. We previously demonstrated that robotic technology can identify neurocognitive impairments not readily detectable by traditional testing in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Objective

The present study aimed to assess whether these quantifiable deficits in neurocognition differ based on a diagnosis of AKI, CKD, or kidney failure.

Design

This was a cross-sectional analysis of participants previously enrolled in an observational study.

Setting

Patients were enrolled at a tertiary academic hospital, Kingston Health Sciences Centre, Kingston, ON, Canada.

Patients

Adults
