- throwanem 5y ago"Filtering the Evidence: Is There a Cognitive Cost of Hemodialysis?" (https://jasn.asnjournals.org/content/29/4/1087 https://jasn.asnjournals.org/content/29/4/1087) reviews recent research and finds cognitive impairment both significant and prevalent as a side effect of in-center hemodialysis (as opposed to peritoneal dialysis, which is less harmful). It cites among other things an RCT result entitled "Cognitive impairment in hemodialysis patients is common" (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16864811/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16864811/), which is frequently cited in studies and articles reviewing this phenomenon; the "Cited by" list on that page is a fertile ground for further review.
