At the same time, acute and chronic encephalopathies occupy a special place in the structure of vascular diseases. In recent years, special attention has been paid to encephalopathies developing as a result of renal pathology, since kidney diseases, namely chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a huge socio-economic problem that leads to cerebral complications, with a significant deterioration in the quality of life, a sharp loss of working capacity, and a high percentage of mortality.
