Blood molecules may reveal hidden clues about kidney disease
NCT ID NCT07037953
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at specific molecules in the blood of 180 people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 60 healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if these molecules could help diagnose CKD early or predict when a common treatment for anemia stops working. The researchers measured levels of certain genetic markers and a protein in the blood. This was an observational study, meaning no treatment was tested—it was only about gathering information.
