Urine particles may reveal hidden kidney damage
NCT ID NCT04700631
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at tiny particles called extracellular vesicles found in urine to see if they can help tell the difference between healthy kidneys and chronic kidney disease. Researchers measured these particles in 143 people, including healthy volunteers and patients with kidney problems. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to monitor kidney health.
