Testing an early test for diabetic kidney damage
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut and certain substances in your blood might affect blood sugar changes and kidney health in people with diabetic kidney disease. If you have type 2 diabetes and kidney issues, this trial could help find better ways to track your condition.
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.
This trial focuses on improving how kidney damage is diagnosed and how treatment is planned for people with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. It may help by using detailed medical history and (if done) kidney biopsy results to guide care more accurately.
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 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 looks at certain blood markers (immune system and platelets) in people with diabetic kidney disease compared to healthy people. It may help doctors better understand and manage diabetes-related kidney damage.
