Key Points

• Cognitive impairment is strongly associated with chronic kidney disease, impacting quality of life significantly.
• Key evidence indicates that lower microbial diversity correlates with increased cognitive impairment among affected individuals.
• Observational analysis shows a complex relationship involving diet, gut microbiota, and cognitive function in chronic kidney disease.
• Findings support the idea that diet can modulate gut microbiota, offering potential strategies for cognitive health improvement.
