“…It is believed that the disturbance in the blood flow due to vascular stiffness is responsible for the poor cognitive functions in patients with chronic kidney disease. (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) Another research shows that the massive accumulation of urinary toxins can directly affect the cognitive functions as the blood flows through different organs of the body. Patients with chronic kidney disease have a high accumulation of parathyroid hormones in the blood and this hormone can pass through the blood brain barrier and is widely distributed in the central nervous system.…”

“…Organochlorines also affect acetylcholine, noradrenaline, and serotonin metabolism. The aminobutyric acid-mediated chloride channels in the CNS appear to be inhibited by lindane and cyclodienes [2]. As a result,Therefore, it's not unforeseen that the significant side effects of organochlorine harming are CNS-related, like dizziness, confusion, shortcoming, disturbance, and hyperesthesia or paraesthesia of the lips and face [1].…”
