Variability of Cognitive Performance during Hemodialysis: Standardization of Cognitive Assessment.

Conclusion: Cognitive performance in hemodialysis patients highly depends on the time point and testing environment. Therefore, we strongly suggest a standardization, using the MoCA before hemodialysis in a separate room, in order to make testing results of future research in this field comparable. © 2014 S.
