Study of kidney blood flow and insulin resistance in youth
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well insulin is working and how the kidneys use energy by measuring kidney blood flow. It compares obese young people with and without type 2 diabetes to lean controls, using a PET scan (a special imaging test).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You already took part in the earlier Renal HEIR study
- You are in the obese-youth group (with or without type 2 diabetes) or a lean control group
- You can have a PET scan and are age 18 or older
- You do not have anemia (low blood counts)
- You are not pregnant and can avoid pregnancy during the study
- You do not have certain allergies or medication issues (seafood/iodine/penicillin; specific drugs like sulfonamides or probenecid)

This trial studies how puberty and blood sugar changes affect the kidneys in people with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand early kidney risk and identify who needs closer monitoring.
This Phase 1 study tests how adding metformin affects blood flow in the kidneys, insulin sensitivity, and overall heart/metabolic health in young people with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand whether this combo is safe and beneficial alongside automated or pump/shot insulin care.
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
This study follows young people with type 2 diabetes to better understand risks for kidney problems over time. It may help researchers find earlier warning signs and improve care for adolescents living with type 2 diabetes.
This study tests a new approach to help your body use insulin better, which may improve blood sugar control and slow down kidney disease. It is for people with advanced chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes who are not yet on dialysis.
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.
