Eye dye test for people with diabetes and kidney disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special dye to take pictures of the back of the eye, which can help doctors see if diabetes has caused any damage. It is for people with both diabetes and advanced kidney problems who are not yet on dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- You have chronic kidney disease at stage 3b to 5 (your doctor can tell you this).
- You are not on dialysis.
- You are not allergic to fluorescein (the dye used in the test).
- You have not had fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration in the last 48 hours, and no treatment changes in the last week.

This study checks whether a set of blood and urine tests can predict “acute kidney injury” (a sudden worsening of kidney function) earlier in people with diabetes who are undergoing a heart procedure. If the tests work, they may help doctors spot kidney trouble sooner and protect your kidneys.
This study is testing a new way to find early signs of kidney damage in people with diabetes. The goal is to catch kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) sooner, so it can be managed more effectively.
This study uses special eye photographs to look at early signs of diabetes damage in the eyes and kidneys. It may help doctors predict how diabetes complications progress and plan better care.
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
This study uses a painless eye scan to learn more about how kidney disease may be linked to eye changes. It may help improve understanding and future care for people with chronic kidney disease and/or high blood pressure.
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
