Summary
This completed study looked at why people with IgA nephropathy (a kidney disease) often experience memory and thinking problems. Researchers used advanced MRI scans, along with blood and stool samples, to examine connections between the brain, gut, and kidneys in 100 patients and 100 healthy volunteers. The goal was to identify possible causes of cognitive decline in this condition, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
