Kidney nerve zapping shows promise for tough blood pressure in kidney disease
NCT ID NCT04264403
First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a procedure called renal denervation, which uses energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys, to see if it can lower blood pressure in people with chronic kidney disease (stage 3) whose blood pressure remains high despite taking 1-5 medications. 44 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the real procedure or a sham (fake) procedure. The main goal was to measure changes in 24-hour blood pressure over 12 months. This is a disease control approach, not a cure, as patients still need ongoing medication and monitoring.
