This study tests whether taking a daily alpha lipoic acid supplement can reduce the return of cystine kidney stones in people with cystinuria. Half of the 50 participants will take 1200 mg of the supplement daily for three years, and the other half will take a placebo. The main g…

This study tested whether a diabetes drug (SGLT2 inhibitor) could prevent cystine kidney stones in people with cystinuria, a genetic condition that causes painful, recurring stones. Ten adults took the drug to see if it would add glucose to their urine and stop cystine from formi…

This study tested a new wearable patch that collects sweat to measure sodium and creatinine levels, which are important for monitoring kidney health and dehydration. Five adults with kidney disease wore the patch while their sweat was analyzed using a special light-based techniqu…

This study tested whether the medication PB can safely reduce excessive urination in people with certain kidney diseases, including inherited nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, lithium-induced diabetes insipidus, and polycystic kidney disease treated with tolvaptan. Researchers meas…

This completed study looked at inherited disorders common in Amish and Mennonite populations. Researchers collected medical histories, blood or cheek swab samples from 157 participants to find the genes behind these conditions. They also built a computer database of family trees …

This study looked at 150 adults with sepsis in the ICU to see if low magnesium levels are connected to blood clotting problems. Researchers measured magnesium and clotting markers at admission and tracked outcomes like DIC and survival. The goal was to understand if magnesium cou…

This completed study collected blood and urine samples from 240 people with ciliopathies—rare genetic disorders that often lead to kidney failure. Researchers analyzed these samples to find biological markers that could predict how the disease will progress. The goal is to develo…

This study analyzed data from over 12,000 past ICU patients to compare three approaches for treating low magnesium levels: no treatment, daily magnesium, or magnesium only when daily tests show low levels. The goal was to see which strategy best reduces the risk of death within 2…

This study looked at why people with Lowe syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, may have unusual bleeding. Researchers took blood samples from 30 patients to test how well their platelets work. The goal was to confirm and understand any platelet problems that could cause bleeding ev…

This study followed 150 people with a confirmed genetic form of nephronophthisis, a rare kidney disease, to see how it progresses over the long term. Researchers tracked both kidney function and damage to other organs. The goal was to better understand the disease's natural histo…

This early-stage study tested the safety and how the body processes two antibiotics—Zidebactam-Cefepime and Metronidazole—given alone or together. Thirty healthy adults received single doses in three different sequences. The goal was to measure drug levels and check for side effe…
