Scientists probe kidney cell metabolism to unlock secrets of ANCA vasculitis
NCT ID NCT07010250
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates how changes in kidney cell metabolism relate to the rate of kidney function decline in people with ANCA vasculitis and other kidney diseases. Researchers will analyze kidney biopsy samples and blood/urine tests from 146 participants over one year. The goal is to better understand the link between metabolism and kidney scarring, which could help classify diseases and guide future treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could reveal new ways to predict kidney function decline and identify targets for future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead directly to new therapies, and results may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied
ANCA Associated Vasculitis The project is to test in humans the hypothesis of the link between the alteration of tubulo-interstitial metabolism and the rate of deterioration of renal function by comparing various nephropathies. A group of patients with ANCA vasculitis with rapidely progressive glomerulonephritis with "crescent" will be compared to six other groups : Patients with extramembranous Glomerulopathy and 2/ nephropathy with minimal glomerular lesion (LGM) by the absence of significant tubulointerstitial fibrosis lesions slow evolution towards end-stage chronic renal failure ). Other groups of patients will 3/have interstitial nephropathy, 4/IgA mesangial glomerulopathy , 5/diabetic nephropathy, or 6/collapsing focal segmental hyalinosis.
