NCT ID NCT06452862
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether advanced MRI scans can noninvasively diagnose and track diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Researchers will scan 150 people—including DKD patients and healthy volunteers—using multiple MRI techniques. The goal is to see if these scans can predict kidney function decline and reduce the need for invasive biopsies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a noninvasive way to diagnose and monitor diabetic kidney disease, potentially reducing the need for kidney biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The MRI techniques may not prove accurate enough to replace current methods, and results may not apply to all patients.
