• Research summary

  Cognitive function has been shown to decline in patients on long term haemodialysis however no evidence is currently available to identify if cognition returns back to baseline following a haemodialysis session or how soon this happens. The main aims of this project are:

  1. To monitor cognitive function during and after haemodialysis.
  2. Establish whether cognition correlates with physical parameters during haemodialysis.
