Blood and urine tests to predict kidney injury in diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks whether a set of blood and urine tests can predict “acute kidney injury” (a sudden worsening of kidney function) earlier in people with diabetes who are undergoing a heart procedure. If the tests work, they may help doctors spot kidney trouble sooner and protect your kidneys.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Agree to give extra blood and urine samples for the study
- Agree to let the study team access your medical records for relevant information

This study looks at whether two simple blood tests (a measure of insulin resistance and certain inflammation markers) can help predict how diabetic kidney disease will progress. If you have diabetes and early kidney problems, this might help your doctor better understand your condition.
This study is testing a new way to find early signs of kidney damage in people with diabetes. The goal is to catch kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) sooner, so it can be managed more effectively.
This study uses a special dye to take pictures of the back of the eye, which can help doctors see if diabetes has caused any damage. It is for people with both diabetes and advanced kidney problems who are not yet on dialysis.
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
This study looks for early warning signs in blood or other samples (using a special lab approach) to detect kidney problems sooner in people with diabetes. It may help patients and clinicians identify kidney risk earlier and follow changes over many years.
This study looks at how common diabetic kidney damage is in people with type 2 diabetes, and which factors can predict it. If you qualify, you may be asked to have a kidney biopsy to understand what’s happening inside your kidneys.
