This study looks at bladder (urinary) stem cells in people with different body weights, kidney health, and type 2 diabetes status. It may help researchers understand how obesity and kidney problems change the bladder at a biological level.
This study looks at how different types of obesity affect kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. It is for adult patients admitted to Assiut University Hospital, and it groups people by their weight and metabolic health to find better treatments.
This study looks at risk factors and body “omics” information (like blood/tissue patterns) to better understand chronic kidney disease caused by metabolic diseases. It may help researchers find better ways to predict or manage kidney problems in people with these conditions.
This study looks at how being overweight affects heart health. It tests a program that includes monthly check-ins and surveys, and is for people with a BMI of 30 or higher who also have a heart condition. The goal is to learn more about how to help people with both weight and heart concerns.
This study is a simple screening to check for early signs of chronic kidney disease. It aims to find kidney problems in people who are at higher risk due to age or other health conditions.
This study tests if bariatric surgery can help people whose diabetes is quickly damaging their kidneys. It may slow down kidney disease and improve health.
