Massive 20-Year study tracks silent kidney epidemic in 5,000 americans

NCT ID NCT00304148

Summary

This long-running study is observing over 5,000 people with reduced kidney function to understand why kidney disease often gets worse and why it so frequently leads to serious heart problems. Researchers are collecting health data, blood, and urine samples over many years to identify risk factors and patterns. The goal is to gather knowledge that could help design future prevention strategies and treatments, not to test a new therapy directly.
