Proteinuria

This study tests whether adding finerenone to standard blood pressure medicines can reduce protein in the urine of children with chronic kidney disease. About 219 children aged 6 months to under 18 years will take either finerenone or a placebo for 6 months. The main goal is to s…

This UCLA study is testing whether the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet — which avoids dairy, grains, and sugar — can reduce protein levels in the urine of people with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. Thirty adults aged 18 to 65 with active disease…

This study tests a drug called sparsentan for people who have protein in their urine after a kidney transplant due to IgA nephropathy or FSGS. About 20 adults will take the drug once daily for 36 weeks to see if it safely reduces protein levels and protects kidney function. The g…

This phase 3 trial tests ravulizumab, a drug that blocks part of the immune system, against a placebo in 579 adults with IgA nephropathy—a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. The goal is to see if ravulizumab reduces protein in the urine and preserves kidney function …

This study tests whether adding an SGLT2 inhibitor to standard ARB therapy better reduces protein in the urine (a sign of kidney damage) in diabetic patients without high blood pressure. Sixty adults aged 30-60 with diabetes and microalbuminuria will receive either ARBs alone or …

This phase 3 trial tests whether finerenone can reduce protein in the urine (proteinuria) of people who have had a kidney transplant. Proteinuria is a sign of kidney damage. The study compares finerenone plus standard care to dapagliflozin plus standard care in 54 adult patients.…

This study tests whether dapagliflozin, a drug used in adults for diabetes and kidney protection, can reduce protein leakage in the urine of children with chronic kidney disease. Ten children aged 4 to 18 with persistent proteinuria despite standard therapy will take the drug, an…

This large study is looking at the genes of over 9,000 people with diabetes and kidney disease, along with their family members. The goal is to find which genes make some people more likely to get diabetic kidney disease. By understanding the genetic roots, researchers hope to de…

This observational study explores whether levels of a protein called soluble CD163 in blood or urine can reflect how active IgA nephropathy is and how it might progress. Researchers will compare these levels among people with IgA nephropathy, those with a similar kidney condition…

This study aims to find the genetic causes of kidney diseases like FSGS and nephrotic syndrome. Researchers will collect saliva and urine samples from up to 2,050 participants, including patients and their family members, as well as healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand w…

This study explores whether a simple urine protein test can help doctors decide which type 2 diabetes patients need extra medications to protect their heart and kidneys. Fifty adults with type 2 diabetes will receive semaglutide (Ozempic) and finerenone, and researchers will chec…
