NCT ID NCT07339098
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early study will test whether gentle ultrasound pulses applied to the kidneys can improve kidney function in 20 adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Participants will receive the ultrasound treatment three times a week for four weeks. Researchers will measure changes in kidney function and safety up to 12 weeks after treatment ends.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to slow kidney decline in chronic kidney disease.
