Does knowing your genetic risk for kidney disease help you stay healthier?
NCT ID NCT04191824
Summary
This study tested whether sharing the results of a specific genetic test with patients and their doctors leads to better health outcomes. It focused on people of African ancestry with high blood pressure who have a gene variant (APOL1) that increases their risk for kidney disease. Researchers wanted to see if knowing this genetic risk early would help people better manage their blood pressure and get earlier kidney disease screening.
