Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia. Genetic components play an important role in AD and have been widely evaluated by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and exome sequencing, and some common and rare genetic variants have been identified. In addition to genetic factors, environment factors have a role in AD. Growing evidence from observational studies linked impaired kidney function to cognitive impairment and AD; however, there are inconsistences in these findings.
