NCT ID NCT07430982
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study examined blood vessel function in 101 elderly patients (65 and older) with chronic kidney disease who were not on dialysis. Researchers used ultrasound and other non-invasive tests to measure blood vessel health and looked for links to certain blood markers. The goal was to better understand cardiovascular risk in this population.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could help doctors better identify cardiovascular risk in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures health markers and does not test any therapy, so it cannot directly improve patient outcomes.
