  This cognitive function decline study comparing haemodialysis (HD) patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients will be conducted using the DOPPS and PDOPPS (Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study) core protocols and infrastructures in the UK. This will allow comparison of change of cognitive function in incident HD and PD patients over time, with the hypothesis that PD is associated with less cognitive impairment (CI) and slower progression of CI than HD.
