Background: Cognition impairment is well known in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The relationship between brain structure and cognitive performance in CKD patients is still under investigation. The study aimed to quantitatively assess the relationship between brain structure and cognitive performance in patients with CKD.Methods: We recruited 39 patients with CKD and 39 age- and sex-matched control participants from a tertiary medical center. All participants underwent 3-T MRI scan neuropsychological assessments, and renal function tests. FreeSurfer software was used for imaging processing and analysis, including measurement of cortical thickness and gray matter (GM) and white matter volumes.Results: Compared with control subjects (73.1 +/- 7.5 years old), patients with CKD (76.4 +/- 8.4 years old) had significantly lower scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination, and forward digit span test (P
