A lower eGFR in CKD patients was associated with early impairments in certain cognitive domains: praxis, language and attention domains before an obvious cognitive decline. Early detection of NCD in CKD patients must be perform before clinically cognitive decline using preferably tests assessing executive, attentional functions and language than memory test. This could lead to a better management of cognitive impairment and their consequences on CKD management.
