NCT ID NCT05881447
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will track 1,200 adults in semi-rural Tanzania to find out how common chronic kidney disease (CKD) is and what factors increase the risk. Participants will have blood and urine tests at the start, after 90 days, and again after one year. The goal is to create better ways to predict and catch CKD early in this region.
