Ultrasound treatment for high blood pressure with kidney disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment on the kidney arteries to see if it can safely lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It may help avoid more invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 82 years old.
- You have high blood pressure (systolic over 135 mmHg) that has been stable on your current medications for at least 2 months.
- You have moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (eGFR 20–70) OR milder kidney disease (eGFR 60–90) with protein in your urine.
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure hospitalization in the last 6 months.

This trial tests an ultrasound device that targets nerves around the kidney to lower blood pressure. It may help people whose blood pressure is not well controlled with medication.
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment that targets the fat pad around your kidney to lower blood pressure. It might be an option if your blood pressure is still high despite medication and you meet the size requirements for the fat pad.
This trial tests whether ultrasound “renal denervation” can safely and effectively lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not well controlled after a kidney transplant. If you qualify, the study may help you see whether this procedure reduces office and 24-hour blood pressure readings without harming your transplanted kidney.
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to disrupt nerves in the kidney arteries to lower blood pressure. Participants must have high blood pressure and be willing to temporarily stop their blood pressure medications to see if the procedure works alone.
This trial tests a procedure that targets nerves near the kidney (renal denervation) to help lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not controlled despite medication. It uses a special 3D mapping system to guide the procedure.
This study tests a new device that uses energy to calm kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure in people with chronic kidney disease whose blood pressure stays high despite taking multiple medications.
