Hormone effects on blood vessel narrowing in kidneys and arteries
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how hormone treatments (estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone) may affect how blood vessels tighten in the body, including in the kidneys. Researchers measure these effects to understand potential impacts on blood flow and blood vessel control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You currently take hormones by mouth or through other methods (estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone)
- You do not have heart disease symptoms or known problems like blocked blood flow, rhythm problems, or abnormal heart valve issues

This study looks at how mineralocorticoid-related hormone signaling affects small heart blood vessels and how efficiently the heart works in people with high blood pressure. It may help doctors understand which treatments could improve heart function in hypertension.
This study watches how gender-affirming hormone treatment affects your kidneys over time. Researchers will do blood and urine tests and imaging scans to make sure your kidneys stay healthy as you start hormone therapy.
This study looks at how blood vessels react to nerve signals during menopause. It may help explain why heart health changes after menopause.
This study measures how blood vessels behave in people with kidney disease or at risk for it. Researchers will use special sensors to understand how vessel stiffness changes, which could help predict and prevent heart and kidney problems.
This study looks at how the change in hormones during menopause affects blood vessel and nerve health. It involves two visits to test how your body responds to certain changes, helping researchers understand women's heart health during this life stage.
This study looks at how the hormones estrogen and testosterone affect blood flow in the brain and how your body manages energy. You may be a good fit if you are a healthy young adult (18–40) who does not smoke, has no chronic diseases, and — if you are a woman — has regular periods and is not on hormonal birth control.
