What this trial studies

This observational study investigates how various factors influence cerebrovascular disease and cognitive function in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The research focuses on patients aged between 50 and 85 years who have been on dialysis for more than three months. By analyzing the relationship between hemodialysis and cognitive impairment, the study aims to identify potential risk factors and outcomes associated with brain health in this population.
