Sodium MRI scan to study heart salt changes in kidney disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have chronic kidney disease for more than 3 months (or are on hemodialysis for more than 3 months)
- If you are a healthy control, you do not have kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, or swelling in your legs
- You are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and do not plan pregnancy during the study
- You can safely have an MRI scan

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 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 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.
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 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 a special MRI to measure sodium levels in your body to better understand and treat primary aldosteronism, a condition that can cause hard-to-control high blood pressure. Participating may help doctors learn how to manage your condition more effectively.
