Our primary goal is to describe the prevalence, severity, and risk of cognitive impairment (CI) by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, in mL/min/1.73 m2) in a cohort enriched for advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD; eGFR < 45), adjusting for albuminuria, as measured by urine albumin-to-c...
