Zinc levels and diabetic kidney disease severity
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study checks whether the amount of zinc in your blood is related to how severe your diabetic kidney disease is. It might help doctors understand if zinc could be a useful marker for kidney health in diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have diabetes with kidney disease (also called diabetic nephropathy or diabetic kidney disease)
- You are not currently on dialysis (a treatment that filters your blood when kidneys fail)
- You do not have other kidney problems such as lupus nephritis or glomerulonephritis
- You are willing to participate and give your consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for early warning signs in blood or other samples (using a special lab approach) to detect kidney problems sooner in people with diabetes. It may help patients and clinicians identify kidney risk earlier and follow changes over many years.
This study looks at whether blood zinc levels are related to lupus nephritis, a kidney problem that can happen in people with lupus. If you have lupus nephritis, your blood zinc level may help doctors understand your condition better.
This study looks at the balance of two minerals (copper and zinc) in people with kidney failure on dialysis, to see if their levels relate to health outcomes. It may help doctors better manage nutrition for kidney patients.
This study looks at two blood markers in people with diabetic kidney disease to see if they relate to the condition. It may help doctors understand the disease better and could lead to better monitoring or treatment in the future.
This study looks at simple blood tests to see if certain markers of inflammation and platelet levels are different in people with diabetic kidney disease compared to healthy people. The results might help doctors find kidney problems earlier in people with type 2 diabetes.
This study looks at whether two simple blood tests (a measure of insulin resistance and certain inflammation markers) can help predict how diabetic kidney disease will progress. If you have diabetes and early kidney problems, this might help your doctor better understand your condition.
