CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE(CKD)

This study looks at whether exercise and monitoring can help older adults with chronic kidney disease recover muscle strength after being in the hospital. Researchers will test different ways to measure muscle health and compare home-based versus supervised exercise programs. The…

This study tests a program to help doctors better screen and treat chronic kidney disease (CKD) in people with type 2 diabetes. About 420 adults with diabetes and signs of kidney disease will take part. The goal is to see if the program helps more patients get the right medicines…

This study tests a new treatment called AdiaVita, made from umbilical cord blood stem cells and exosomes with glutathione, for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). About 100 adults aged 18 to 80 with moderate CKD will receive monthly IV infusions and a daily skin spray for t…

This study tests whether using water pills (diuretics) as the main add-on treatment for high blood pressure works better than usual care in people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. About 720 adults with kidney disease and uncontrolled high blood pressure will take p…

This study tests whether taking algae supplements (spirulina or seaweed) for 20 weeks can improve markers of heart health and change gut bacteria in 150 adults aged 50+ with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or kidney disease. Participants are randomly assigned to receive …

This study tests a drug called vonsetamig in people with chronic kidney disease who have very high levels of antibodies that make it nearly impossible to find a matching donor kidney. The goal is to safely lower those antibodies so they can receive a kidney transplant. About 56 a…

This study tests a program to help Black adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) reduce their sitting time. Half of the 40 participants will get support to sit less, while the other half receives general CKD education. The goal is to see if cutting down on sedentary time improve…

This study tests whether using specific biomarkers to choose treatments can better slow kidney function decline in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to standard care. About 125 adults with CKD and elevated albumin in their urine will receive either biomarker-guide…

This study tests a program to help doctors better screen for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will enroll 750 adults who are missing key kidney tests. The goal is to see if the program increases the number of patients who get the recommende…

This study aims to understand why people with cystic fibrosis (CF) often develop kidney disease. Researchers will collect blood and urine samples from 260 participants with CF, both during routine visits and during hospital stays for lung flare-ups, and compare them to samples fr…

This study is testing whether a special type of MRI scan, called manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI), can help predict heart and kidney complications in people with kidney disease. Researchers will scan 120 adults with conditions like acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, or ki…

This study follows about 4,000 adults from Shanghai communities to see how heart, kidney, and metabolic diseases develop over time. Researchers will compare current health data with information collected between 2016 and 2017. The goal is to understand how risk factors change and…

This study aims to validate and check the reproducibility of laboratory tests, equipment, and techniques used in research on chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Researchers will compare old and new testing methods to ensure results are accurate and consist…

This study tests whether a special MRI scan can measure kidney scarring (fibrosis) in people with early chronic kidney disease (CKD). Currently, doctors use a needle biopsy to check for scarring, which is invasive and can miss patchy damage. Researchers will scan 200 adults with …

This study follows about 20 people with chronic kidney disease who received a kidney transplant after being treated with the experimental drug vonsetamig in a previous study. No new drug is given here. Researchers will watch for side effects and how well the transplanted kidney w…

This study tests whether watching educational videos can help people with early-stage chronic kidney disease become more physically active and improve their fitness. Sixty adults will be randomly assigned to either a multimedia video program or standard education for 12 weeks. Re…
