MRI study of salt buildup in people with kidney problems
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to measure how much salt (sodium) builds up in soft tissues in people with kidney disease and related heart conditions. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the body and how treatment or changes in care affect salt buildup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be age 6 or older
- You have kidney disease (including people on dialysis or not yet on dialysis) or be a healthy control
- If you are on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, you’ve been on it for more than 3 months
- If you are in this study at a later visit, your dialysis/therapy/medicines or related care must have changed recently
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to become pregnant
- You must be able to consent and understand the study information and be able to do the MRI

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special MRI scan (called sodium MRI) to measure salt (sodium) in the heart. It compares people with chronic kidney disease (including those on hemodialysis) to healthy volunteers to understand how kidney disease may affect the heart.
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how your kidneys handle salt (sodium). It may help researchers better understand kidney function in healthy people and in people with chronic kidney disease.
This study looks at whether salt (sodium) builds up in the brain in people with kidney failure who are on long-term dialysis. It uses MRI scans to better understand what’s happening in the brain and may help guide future care.
This trial checks whether a new kind of heart MRI (done without contrast dye) can help doctors see heart changes in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help improve how heart health is measured in dialysis care, especially for people with limited time.
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.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how the brain controls salt and blood pressure. It is for people aged 40–60 with normal to slightly high blood pressure, who have no major health conditions.
