Kidney diseases

This trial tests whether finerenone, a drug already used for chronic kidney disease, is safe and tolerable for people hospitalized with acute kidney injury (AKI). About 72 adults with moderate-to-severe AKI will receive either finerenone or a placebo once daily for up to 45 days,…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (ESPB and QLB) to see which provides better pain relief for children aged 2-12 after kidney surgery. One hundred children will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. The main goal is to see how long it takes before the…

This study is testing whether a prediction model can accurately forecast how quickly kidney function declines in people with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney disease that can lead to nephrotic syndrome and kidney failure. Researchers will follow 128 adults with biopsy-con…

This study looks at whether two blood-based inflammation markers, called SII and SIRI, can help track disease activity and predict kidney flares in people with lupus nephritis, a type of kidney inflammation caused by lupus. Researchers will follow 100 adults with confirmed lupus …

This study will observe 50 children (ages 1 month to 18 years) who come to the emergency room with kidney-related symptoms like swelling, blood in urine, or high blood pressure. Researchers want to learn which kidney diseases are most common and how children respond to initial tr…

This study will follow 1000 kidney transplant patients for one year to see if monthly blood tests for certain viruses (CMV, BK, and TTV) can help predict and prevent serious infections and kidney damage. The goal is to learn how the body's immune system and virus levels relate to…

This study will give 10 healthy men glucagon (a blood sugar hormone) and measure kidney blood flow using MRI. Researchers want to see if glucagon changes blood flow in different parts of the kidney and whether blocking certain receptors alters that effect. The goal is to better u…

This study will check if a tool called the STARZ score can accurately predict acute kidney injury in newborns admitted to the NICU. Researchers will enroll 140 infants and compare the score's predictions to standard tests. If validated, this simple score could help doctors identi…
