The prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been increasing progressively leading to cognitive impairment and poorer quality of life (QoL). This cross-sectional study evaluated 137 patients with CKD in stages III or IV in treatment at the Clinical Hospital of Botucatu Medical School (UNESP) in order to describe the prevalence of cognitive impairment and QoL indices and associated factors. In order to attend this purpose, were used a Sociodemographic and Clinical form, Generic Assessment Questionnaire Quality of Life - Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short Form Health Survey, Mini Mental State Examination, Color Trails Test, Rey’s Auditive Verbal Learning Test, The Social Support Scale of The Medical Outcomes Study and the Beck Depression Inventory. The mean age of patients was 56.7 (±14.4) years, with 5.3 (±3.8) years of education.

The prevalence of cognitive impairment was 37.2 % and did not differ between the CKD stages. The QoL indices had lower averages 58.4 to 74.2. The descriptive analysis indicated no statistically significant differences in the distribution of patients in different stages of CKD. The presence of cognitive impairment was independently associated with the stage of CKD, schooling, presence of hypertension and depressive symptoms. Regarding QoL, worst rates in all areas were independently associated with the presence of depressive symptoms. Sex, age, marital status, occupation, perceived social support, presence of diabetes mellitus, urea, creatinine and hemoglobin levels influenced the quality of life, although it was not associated with all domains. Given the results of this study, a comprehensive care of patients with CKD in stages III and IV is considered important, paying attention to the factors that interfere with their QoL and levels of cognitive impairment, with special ...
