Computer alerts could spot hidden kidney disease in diabetes patients
NCT ID NCT05342545
First seen Nov 05, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This completed study tested whether an on-screen electronic alert can prompt doctors to order a simple urine test for kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. Many people with diabetes have early kidney damage but don't know it. The trial involved 400 adults who hadn't had the recommended urine test in the past year. The goal was to see if the alert increases testing and leads to more diagnoses.
