New questionnaire could help millions avoid kidney failure

NCT ID NCT05866276

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a short questionnaire called SCORED to see if it can accurately identify adults in Asia who are at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Over 1,400 people took part across multiple hospitals. Researchers measured how well the questionnaire predicted kidney problems compared to standard lab tests. If effective, this tool could enable early detection and prevention in communities with limited access to healthcare.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ€” not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If the questionnaire proves accurate, it could become a cheap, easy way to screen large populations for early kidney disease risk.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The questionnaire may not be accurate enough to replace standard tests, and results may not apply outside Asia.
