Could your blood type predict kidney treatment success?
NCT ID NCT07757269
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study asks whether a person's ABO/Rh blood type is linked to how well their diabetic kidney disease responds to standard treatment. Researchers will follow 161 adults with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease for one year, measuring kidney function and protein in the urine at the start and end. The goal is to see if certain blood types are associated with better or worse outcomes, which could one day help tailor treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Laboratory measurements of kidney function and blood markers (eGFR, ACR, HbA1c, lipids, electrolytes)
- What this could lead to
- If blood type is linked to treatment response, doctors might personalize kidney disease care based on a simple blood test.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can show associations but not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients.
