A study reveals a link between impaired kidney function and elevated Alzheimer’s biomarkers, but surprisingly, not an increased risk of overall dementia. However, for individuals with already high biomarker levels, kidney issues might accelerate the onset of dementia symptoms. The research suggests kidney health influences the interpretation of Alzheimer’s blood tests. This highlights the importance of assessing both kidney and brain health for accurate Alzheimer’s risk assessment, urging doctors to consider the interplay between these organ systems for a more comprehensive understanding.
