NCT ID NCT02421497
First seen Apr 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study aims to develop and test advanced MRI methods to study kidney disease, including in patients with chronic kidney disease, those on dialysis, and kidney transplant recipients. Researchers will also use brain MRI to explore links between kidney function and cognitive problems. The goal is to improve diagnosis and monitoring without using contrast dyes or invasive procedures.
