HealthDay (9/3, Preidt) reports, “Young adults with kidney problems may be at increased risk for mental decline in middle age,” investigators concluded in a study that “included more than 2,600 people with an average age of 35.” Participants underwent “blood and urine tests to assess kidney function every five years for 20 years, and the tests were used to estimate their risk of kidney failure at each visit.” When the study period ended, “participants were given thinking and memory tests.” The findings were published online Sept. 2 in the journal Neurology.
