Unveiling the Gender Differences in Chronic Kidney Disease and Cognitive Decline

A recent study highlights gender disparities in the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on cognitive decline, with men experiencing greater impairment. Researchers at Marshall University found a stronger correlation between the heart-brain link and cognitive issues in men. The research suggests potential gender-specific treatment approaches.

New research from Marshall University reveals that chronic kidney disease (CKD) influences cognitive decline differently in men and women, with men suffering worse outcomes.

The study, published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, indicates that damage to the heart-brain connection is more pronounced in males with CKD.

Researchers suggest that these findings could inform sex-specific strategies for early diagnosis and treatment, aiming to mitigate cognitive decline in CKD patients.
