End-Stage Renal Disease: A Milieu for Neurological Derangements in Addition to Metabolic Disturbances

Short Communication This article highlight a very important aspect of neurologic consequences associated with End-stage renal disease (ESRD) and would like to add our reviews regarding ESRD and how its early and proper management can affect the overall mortality and morbidity associated with ESRD as well as how early management will lead to improved cognitive status in these patients. The very finding of decreased cortical thickness, as well as declining cognitive function in patients with ESRD, should prompt us to think about managing kidney problems as soon as they start since they can lead to impaired cognitive status and debilitating mental conditions overtime which ultimately leads to death [1, 2]. It is therefore very important for us to start evaluating and detecting brain abnormalities in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have no apparent neurological symptoms which will help us improve the prognosis of patients with ESRD and may lead to a significant reduction in death rates associated with it. [1, 2].
