Research

My research focuses on the association between kidney disease and dementia,
particularly whether kidney disease increases the risk for dementia and how
dementia influences the occurrence and progression of kidney disease.
We have so far used data from SveDem (the Swedish registry for
cognitive/dementia disorders) and the SCREAM biomarker registry (The
Stockholm CREAtinine Measurements project) and other Swedish registries.

Teaching
