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.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that home testing kits help more people with diabetes get screened for kidney disease, leading to earlier detection and care.
