Researchers recently published a study about whether acute kidney injuries raise the risk of dementia.

  • The researchers looked at the health data from thousands of older adults who had an acute kidney injury, which is when the kidneys suddenly stop functioning correctly.
  • They found that acute kidney injuries are associated with a substantially increased risk for dementia, particularly Lewy body dementia or Parkinson’s disease-related dementia. 

Dementia affects millions of people in the United States, and some experts believe that case numbers will continue to rise in the coming years.
