Kidney tissue study aims to unlock secrets of diabetic kidney disease
NCT ID NCT02986984
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is collecting kidney tissue, blood, urine, and genetic samples from 400 adults with diabetes who are already scheduled for a kidney biopsy. Researchers will compare people whose kidney function declines quickly versus slowly to find molecular clues. The goal is to better understand diabetic kidney disease and identify potential targets for future treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could reveal new targets for future treatments to slow kidney disease in diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not testing a treatment. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and results depend on careful analysis of complex data.
