What is Neuropsychological Assessment of Cognitive Impairment in Kidney Transplantation (NAsKiT) and its related risk factors: a study protocol about?
## Abstract ## Background Association of cognitive impairment with chronic kidney disease has been reported over the last decade. Individuals show better cognitive performance after kidney transplantation than individuals on dialysis but are more likely to be affected by cognitive impairment than age-matched comparison groups. Better knowledge of the prevalence as well as course and profile of cognitive impairment is important for the design of future studies assessing the clinical impact of cognitive impairment and developing management strategies. The goal of our study is to examine the extent of cognitive impairment before and after transplantation and to derive a distinct profile of cognitive function using standard neurocognitive tests. Furthermore, we aim to assess whether transplantation per se leads to an improvement in cognitive performance. ## Methods We are conducting a prospective single-center cohort study involving 100 kidney transplant individuals. Individuals who are wait-listed to receive a kidney transplantation or have already received one will be included in this study. Individuals will undergo a battery of detailed neurocognitive tests at baseline (in part befo
