MRI study to improve kidney imaging and research methods
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to develop better imaging tools for kidney disease and to test them in people with kidney problems. It may help improve how doctors measure kidney health in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be able to speak English as your main language (for the CKD part)
- Age 45 or older (for both the kidney disease and transplant parts)
- Have enough kidney function information to match the study: CKD part requires reduced kidney filtering (GFR under 90)
- Must be able to complete about 90 minutes of memory/thinking tests (CKD part)
- You must be safe for MRI: no pacemaker/defibrillator/brain or heart metal devices or metal/shrapnel in the body
- MRI safety limits apply: no large metal implants (like hip replacement), no pregnancy, and must be able to tolerate being in the MRI machine
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study uses advanced MRI scans to look at kidney health in living donors, transplant recipients, and healthy people. It aims to find links between MRI results and kidney function, fibrosis (scarring), and aging.
This study is looking at how chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects the eyes, brain, and kidneys. It uses MRI scans to examine these organs, and aims to find connections that could help improve care for people with CKD.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how Fabry disease affects the kidneys, including scarring, swelling, and oxygen levels. It may help researchers understand kidney problems better and find new ways to monitor the disease.
This study is testing an MRI (brain/scanner imaging) method that uses several measurements to learn more about connections between kidney and brain. You may be asked to undergo MRI scans, and you’ll need to meet safety and health criteria to participate.
This study uses special MRI scans to look at kidney transplant health. It may help researchers understand how well a transplanted kidney is working, especially in times of sudden worsening or recovery.
This study adds an MRI and other measurements to a heart registry to better understand heart function. You might benefit by getting detailed heart and kidney measurements, but you must meet safety and eligibility rules (like blood pressure, BMI, and being off heart medicines).
