Overview
This study intends to apply prospective, open, single-center, randomized controlled study to evaluate the cognitive status of patients with Idiopathic membranous nephropathy and the influence of different treatment schemes on the cognitive status of patients with Idiopathic membranous nephropathy, and explore the possible pathophysiological mechanism by using brain magnetic resonance imaging technology.
Description
Proteinuia is an independent risk factor for cognitive dysfunction and dementia. There is no relevant research on whether patients with Idiopathic membranous nephropathy with normal renal function are complicated with cognitive impairment. In the process of clinical diagnosis and treatment, it was observed that the cognitive function of patients with Idiopathic membranous nephropathy decreased significantly after treatment compared with that before treatment. However, there is no clinical study to confirm this phenomenon at present, and the causes of cognitive function damage are not clear. This study intends to apply prospective, open, single-center, randomized controlled study to evaluate the cognitive status of patients with Idiopathic membranous nephropathy and the influence of different treatment schemes on the cognitive status of patients with Idiopathic membranous nephropathy, and explore the possible pathophysiological mechanism by using brain magnetic resonance imaging technology, so as to fill the research gap of clinical cognitive status of Idiopathic membranous nephropathy and provide theoretical basis for better clinical treatment scheme selection and prevention of cognitive impairment.
