Thyroid hormones may hold clues to kidney disease progression
NCT ID NCT07663773
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will measure thyroid hormone levels in stored blood and urine samples from 51 people with severe chronic kidney disease (stages 4 and 5). Researchers aim to understand how these hormones differ in patients with and without polycystic kidney disease. The study does not involve any new treatment or intervention.
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 reveal how thyroid hormones relate to kidney disease severity, potentially guiding future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using stored samples, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all kidney disease patients.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
1. Non-ADPKD CKD group Patients with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD stages G4-G5, not on dialysis) previously enrolled in the ADAPT clinical study (NCT04794517) conducted at the Clinical Research Center for Rare Diseases "Aldo e Cele Daccò", Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri IRCCS will be included. Only patients who provided informed consent for storage and future research use of biological samples and associated clinical data will be included. 2. ADPKD group A subset of patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) previously enrolled in the REORIENTED clinical study (NCT05646420), will be selected. These patients will be included only if they present the same CKD stage (G4-G5) as the non-ADPKD CKD group, in order to ensure comparability in terms of renal function impairment.

Inclusion criteria * Non-ADPKD CKD * CKD stage G4, included in the ADAPT study * Availability of stored serum and urine samples in the biobank suitable for thyroid hormone analysis * Availability of relevant clinical and laboratory data within a predefined time window from sample collection * Signed informed consent for storage and future research use of biological samples and clinical data * ADPKD CKD * CKD stage G4, included in the REORIENTED study * Availability of complete thyroid hormone profile and relevant clinical data Exclusion criteria (applied to both groups as far as possible) * Known history of thyroid disease (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, or thyroid cancer) * Treatment with thyroid hormone replacement or antithyroid drugs * Use of medications known to interfere with thyroid function (e.g., amiodarone, lithium, interferon) * Systemic corticosteroid or immunosuppressive therapy at the time of sampling (if data available) * Dialysis treatment or history of kidney transplantation at the time of sampling * Acute illness, infection, or hospitalization close to the time of sample collection (if identifiable)
