Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, with diabetes confirmed by recent blood sugar or A1c results
- You must be an adult (age 18 or older)
- You likely need evidence of kidney problems (or “at risk”/protected status) based on recent kidney blood and urine tests
- If in the “at risk” or “protected” groups, you still must meet specific urine and kidney function thresholds
- You must be able and willing to give informed consent and receive a blood transfusion if needed
- You may need a kidney biopsy, and it must be considered safe for you

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.
This study collects and studies kidney tissue (from a biopsy or surgery) from people with diabetes-related kidney disease to learn more about the condition. You may be able to help if you've already had a kidney biopsy or certain kidney surgeries.
This trial is developing and checking a new technique to detect early diabetic nephropathy, which means early damage to the kidneys caused by diabetes. It may help people catch kidney problems sooner, so treatment can start earlier.
This study aims to learn more about diabetic nephropathy (kidney problems caused by diabetes) using planned kidney tissue samples. You may benefit by helping researchers understand the disease better, and you may be eligible if you already have a medically needed kidney biopsy scheduled.
This study looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have kidney problems and relates their symptoms and lab findings to what is seen on kidney biopsy. It may help doctors better understand what is driving kidney damage in diabetes.
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.
