Risk factors for cognitive dysfunction in CKD and hypertensive subjects

Purpose Cognitive dysfunction (CO/DY) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients has long been recognized. Hypertension is also associated with CO/DY. The study describes associated factors with CO/DY in CKD patients compared to hypertensive subjects. Methods Ninety-six hypertensive subjects without CKD, 19 patients with CKD stages I–II, 33 with CKD III, 42 with CKD stage IV, 33 on hemodialysis (HD) and 33 on peritoneal dialysis (PD) were included in our study. Cognitive impairment measured by MMSE, clock-drawing test and IADL was considered as primary outcome. Results In all groups tested, age was significantly associated with CO/DY by almost all cognitive function tests. Among CKD patients, CKD stage and DM were significantly associated with CO/DY by all three cognitive function tests. PTH levels were also associated with CO/DY by MMSE and clock-drawing tests. In hypertensives, pulse pressure (PP) was associated with CO/DY by clock-drawing and IADL tests, while those receiving CCBs as monotherapy were less likely to have CO/DY by IADL test. For dialysis patients, DM was significantly related to CO/DY by MMSE and clock-drawing tests. In the same group of patients Hb <11 g/dl was significantly correlated with CO/DY by MMSE, dialysis modality and Kt/V >1.2 by IADL test. PD patients were less likely to present with CO/DY by clock-drawing test. Conclusions In every CKD stage, the risk of CO/DY increased significantly. Low Hb levels (Hb <11 g/dl) and increased serum PTH levels were associated with CO/DY while DM plays also a significant role in cognitive function deterioration. Among hypertensive subjects, those with PP ≤60 mmHg or receiving CCBs showed a better executive function..
