Broadcasting from Sweden: Dementia Diagnoses Up in Individuals With Acute Kidney Injury
Individuals with acute kidney injury (AKI) have an increased risk for receiving a clinical diagnosis of dementia, according to a study published online Aug. 22 in Neurology.
Hong Xu, M.D., Ph.D., from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, and colleagues examined the association between experiencing AKI and subsequent risks for developing dementia in a study involving individuals aged 65 years and older in Stockholm, who were free from dementia diagnosis. A total of 305,122 individuals (median age, 75 ± 8 years) were included.
