Protective Effects of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers on the Incidence of Dementia in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Population-Based Nationwide Study

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with dementia. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) have been widely used for delaying CKD progression; however, their effect on dementia prevention in patients with CKD remains unclear. We designed a retrospective cohort study to investigate the effects of...

We designed a retrospective cohort study to investigate the effects of ARBs on the incidence of dementia in patients with CKD.
