Magnetic resonance imaging for chronic kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses a special MRI technique called multifrequency magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to see if it can help evaluate chronic kidney disease. It may provide a non-invasive way to monitor kidney health without needing a biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (age 18 or older).
- You have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on recent guidelines, meaning you have high creatinine or abnormal protein in your urine.
- You are scheduled for a kidney biopsy within the next week.
- You do not have any cancer in the urinary or genital tract, polycystic kidney disease, kidney transplant, or sudden kidney failure.
- You can have an MRI (no metal implants, pacemaker, or severe claustrophobia).
