Kidney salt imaging scan with MRI
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must fit one of these groups: healthy with no kidney/heart/liver swelling problems, or chronic kidney disease (CKD), or on dialysis for kidney failure
- If you have CKD: your kidney filtration estimate (eGFR) must be below 90
- If you are on dialysis: you must have been on maintenance hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis for more than 3 months
- You must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy
- You must be able to have an MRI scan safely (no non-removable metal/implants and no severe claustrophobia)

This study tests a new MRI imaging method to detect bone loss (osteoporosis) and muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with chronic kidney disease. The scan may help doctors catch these problems earlier and manage kidney disease better.
This study uses advanced imaging (PET/MRI) to look at how kidney disease affects the heart and blood vessels. It may help doctors better understand and treat chronic kidney disease.
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 MRI scans to track kidney disease progression in children and adults with ARPKD. It aims to better understand how the disease changes over time, which could help improve future care.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to look at the kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better understand how the disease affects kidney function.
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at the kidneys in people with different kinds of kidney disease, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, vasculitis, and after a kidney transplant. The goal is to better understand these conditions.
