NCT ID NCT05734989
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study worked with community groups to screen Hispanic/Latinx adults for kidney disease and diabetes, then referred them to a primary care doctor. It also gave local clinics guidelines to help doctors screen and treat Hispanic and Black patients with diabetes. The goal was to see if these steps could improve early detection and proper treatment, and ultimately slow kidney disease in these groups.
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 approach could help slow kidney disease progression in high-risk communities and be scaled to other regions.
What could go wrong
This is a completed pilot study with 248 participants in one city, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on referrals and guidelines, not a new drug or therapy.
