NCT ID NCT06906627
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether sending home test kits or ordering standard lab tests can help more people with type 2 diabetes get screened for chronic kidney disease (CKD). About 750 adults who are missing key kidney function tests will be enrolled. The goal is to see if these approaches increase the number of people who complete recommended screening within three months.
