The various approaches for measuring cognitive functioning are outlined as well as the most recent findings describing observed patterns of cognitive impairment in CKD patients. The chapter also discusses the potential consequences of cognitive impairment and highlights promising opportunities for intervention.doi:10.1016/B978-0-12-817080-9.00...
Cognitive impairment challenges the ability to adhere to the complex medication regimens needed to treat multiple medical problems in older adults. Objective Our aim was to conduct a systematic evidence-based review to identify barriers to medication adherence in cognitively impaired older adults and int...
Citation16]. As a result, the prevalence of CI in ND-CKD patients and the risk factors contributing to CI in these individuals remain poorly understood. Therefore, this meta-analysis was designed to elucidate
Drug-induced cognitive impairment (DICI) is a well-established, yet under-recognised, complication of many types of pharmacological treatment. While there is a large body of scientific literature on DICI, most papers are about drug-induced dementia in the elderly and one specific drug class. Howev...
Second, cognitive behavioral therapy based on cognitive intervention may have been less effective than in the normal group because patients with chronic diseases may have factors such as declines in cognitive function. Third, because this was not a specialized intervention program for CKD patients, it...
Non-pharmacological treatment, especially cognitive training, has attracted more and more attention in recent years and is expected to become an early prevention and intervention means for patients with mild cognitive impairment. Cognitive training refers to improving cognitive function by training different...
A total of 460 people were ran- domised to the intervention and control groups. Eligible patients were those aged C65 years who had dementia or cognitive impairment. Dementia diagnoses were collected from medical records. Patients were considered to have cognitive impairment if sufficient information ...

Early intervention is important, since inflammation and oxidative stress are already evi- dent in the moderate stages of CKD [20], and these factors enhance the metabolism of tryptophan via the kynurenine pathway. In normal health, the majority of peripheral tryptophan is degraded in the liver ...
