Hemodialysis-based Interventions to Preserve Cognitive Function
This is a randomized, controlled trial to slow cognitive decline in adults undergoing
hemodialysis (HD). The investigators will test three interventions cognitive training (CT),
exercise training (ET), and combined cognitive and exercise training (CT+ET) relative to
standard of care (SC).
hemodialysis (HD). The investigators will test three interventions cognitive training (CT),

standard of care (SC).
This will be a two by two factorial, randomized, controlled trial to slow cognitive decline
in adults undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The investigators primary objective is to determine
if receiving cognitive training (tablet-based brain games), exercise training (stationary
foot pedal), or combined cognitive and exercise training preserves executive function
relative to those with standard of care . The secondary objectives are to compare the rates
of end stage renal disease (ESRD)-specific clinical outcomes and patient centered outcomes
among those receiving CT, or ET, or CT+ET relative to those in SC. The investigators will
formally test whether receiving CT or ET will preserve executive function and receiving
combined CT+ET will preserve executive function better than CT or ET alone.
