First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how the eyes, brain, and kidneys affect each other in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Researchers will use MRI scans and eye imaging to see if changes in the brain and retina are linked to thinking problems and kidney function. About 1,500 adults with CKD will take part, but no new treatments are being tested.
