A Neuropsychologic Survey of Self-sufficient Outpatients

Diego Brancaccio, MD; Rosaria Damasso, MD; Hans Spinnler, MD; Roberto Sterzi, MD; Giuseppe Vallar, MD

Arch Neurol. 1981;38(12):757-758.

Abstract
• The hypothesis of a proportionality between severity of chronic kidney failure (CKF) and duration of dialysis and mental impairment was tested in self-sufficient outpatients who were receiving long-term dialysis and in undialyzed patients with CKF. Extensive neuropsychologic testing failed to elicit any such proportionality.
