Hidden kidney trouble: high blood pressure study in kazakhstan aims to find the missing cases
NCT ID NCT06744335
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study is tracking over 1,200 adults in Kazakhstan who have high blood pressure to see how many also have signs of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Researchers will measure things like protein in urine and kidney function. The goal is to understand how often CKD goes undiagnosed in this group and what treatments patients are actually receiving.
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 study could help doctors in Kazakhstan diagnose kidney disease earlier in patients with high blood pressure, leading to better care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new drug or therapy, so it cannot directly improve health outcomes.

Who is studied
The planned study population for the prospective analysis consists of 1,282 adult outpatients with AH with one or more markers of CKD, without a documented diagnosis of CKD before inclusion in the study and without a documented diagnosis of DM or III-IV stage chronic heart failure (CHF). The planned number of study centers is \~15 outpatient sites in approximately 10 regions of Kazakhstan. The retrospective part includes a physician's retrospective review of the ambulatory cards or medical records of outpatients with a reported diagnosis of arterial hypertension for the presence of laboratory markers of CKD assessed ≥3 and ≤12 months prior to inclusion.
