New heart tests for people with kidney disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at new ways to check heart health in people with kidney disease. Researchers want to find out if special blood tests can help predict heart problems in patients on dialysis or those with earlier stage kidney disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 45 or older (or 18+ with a history of diabetes).
- You must either be on hemodialysis, on peritoneal dialysis, or have stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis).
- If you have stage 3-4 kidney disease or are on peritoneal dialysis, you must have high blood pressure.
- You cannot have any pre-existing heart disease (like heart failure or coronary artery disease).
- You cannot have active cancer.
- You must be able to understand the study and give your permission to participate.

This study looks at how kidney failure affects the small blood vessels and heart muscle in people on dialysis. Researchers want to understand how common these changes are and may use heart imaging and special medications to test how your blood vessels work.
This study looks at how well we can predict heart and kidney problems in people who have both coronary heart disease and chronic kidney disease. By analyzing certain markers, researchers hope to create a better risk assessment tool.
This study looks at two blood tests (D-dimer and CRP) to see if they can help predict heart risks in people on long-term dialysis. It may help doctors better understand your heart health and prevent future problems.
This study is looking at the link between kidney disease and heart disease. It aims to understand how heart problems affect people with chronic kidney disease. The trial does not test a new drug, but rather follows patients to learn more about their health.
This study looks for new markers in blood or urine that may help explain heart (cardiovascular) risk in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better predict risk, especially in those not yet on dialysis.
This study looks at heart and bone health in people on dialysis compared to healthy volunteers. If you are on dialysis for at least 6 months, or if you are healthy with no kidney issues, you may be able to join.
