Serum BDNF and cognitive risk in maintenance hemodialysis: a machine learning study.

Key takeaways

This study looked at 130 people on dialysis to see if a blood marker predicts memory loss. It found a link between the marker and a drop in memory scores over one year. This shows a connection, but it does not prove the marker causes the memory loss.
