NCT ID NCT04975464
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 600 people with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD) for up to four years to compare how often memory loss, confusion, and daily activity problems occur. Researchers will also look for risk factors that make thinking and memory worse in CKD patients. Participants undergo annual memory tests, medical interviews, and some have brain scans to understand the role of kidney health in brain function.
