NCT ID NCT04238299
First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a detailed MRI scan can provide better information about chronic kidney disease (CKD) than standard tests. Researchers will scan 486 adults with CKD and track their health over time to see if the MRI can predict which patients will get worse. The goal is to improve monitoring and guide treatment without needing a kidney biopsy.

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 MRI method could help doctors predict kidney disease progression more accurately and choose better treatments without needing a biopsy.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. The MRI technique may not prove more useful than current tests.
