Kidney Disease Can Affect Your Brain
Most people think kidney disorders only affect the urinary system, but chronic kidney disease can also impact brain function.

Why it’s surprising: Cognitive symptoms are sometimes among the earliest signs that kidney function is declining, especially in older adults.
