Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05318196Recruiting
Predict kidney disease risk and progression from patient data
This trial looks at ways to predict how kidney disease may develop, change, or cause complications using information from patients. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk and tailor care earlier.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT05728216Recruiting
Using a special eye-scan to study kidney biopsy samples
This study tests whether a noninvasive “eye-scan” during a kidney biopsy can help doctors tell the difference between acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. If it works, it may improve how kidney problems are diagnosed in routine practice.
Chalon-sur-Saône, Saône-et-LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT06006819Recruiting
Acute heart failure with chronic kidney disease study
This trial studies how certain markers in the blood can predict outcomes in people with acute heart failure who also have chronic kidney disease. If you qualify, researchers will follow your health during this hospital stay.
Taipei, Baitou DistrictAges 20–90 - NCT06153147Recruiting
Kidney & blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at kidney health and blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors. If you finished high-risk cancer therapy about 3 years ago, researchers want to see how your kidneys and blood pressure are doing now.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 19 years - NCT06288204Recruiting
Green Propolis and Royal Jelly for Kidney Health
This trial tests whether a supplement made from green propolis (a natural bee product) and royal jelly can help people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if the supplement can improve kidney health and blood pressure control.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–75 - NCT06337838RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing blood loss during surgery in kidney patients
This trial tests two medications, tranexamic acid and desmopressin, to see if they can reduce bleeding during surgery in people with severe kidney disease or on dialysis. The results may help make surgery safer for you.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06383208Recruiting
Heart and kidney risk study for people with both diseases
This study looks at how well we can predict heart and kidney problems in people who have both coronary heart disease and chronic kidney disease. By analyzing certain markers, researchers hope to create a better risk assessment tool.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06528405RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor study for acute kidney disease patients
This study tests whether SGLT2 inhibitors (a type of diabetes drug that also helps kidneys) can help patients with acute kidney disease. It may be an option if you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease along with acute kidney problems.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT06591702Recruiting
Testing a quality-of-life questionnaire for kidney disease
This study tests a questionnaire (BETY-BQ) to see how well it measures quality of life in people with kidney disease, on dialysis, or after a kidney transplant. It will help doctors better understand your symptoms and daily life.
