High-risk neurocognitive testing and imaging will be performed at three sites with specific imaging capabilities in children who are older than 9 yr and have GFR <40 ml/min per 1.73 m2. High-risk neurocognitive assessment includes Children’s Memory Scale (CMS), Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS), Benton Judgment of Line Orientation and Form Discrimination (Benton), and Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals, Fourth Edition (CELF-4).
