Chronic Kidney Disease Affects Men and Women Differently

Chronic Kidney Disease Affects Men and Women Differently

A new study found that chronic kidney disease can make people's thinking skills worse over time, but it affects men and women differently.

Men with this disease have more problems with their thinking and their heart doesn't work as well as women with the same disease.

The researchers think this is because the connection between the kidneys, heart, and brain works differently in men and women.

This could help doctors find better ways to treat people with chronic kidney disease, especially if they pay attention to these differences between men and women.

The study was done by researchers at Marshall University and was published in a science journal.
