Using electrical imaging to check kidney function
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure kidney function using harmless electrical signals instead of needles. It may help people with chronic kidney disease avoid frequent blood draws.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (any stage 1-5).
- You do not have any implanted electronic devices like a pacemaker.
- You have no damaged skin, recent abdominal surgery, or spinal problems.

This study uses advanced MRI scans to better understand kidney disease and improve imaging techniques. It may help doctors diagnose and monitor kidney problems more effectively.
This study is looking at how chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects the eyes, brain, and kidneys. It uses MRI scans to examine these organs, and aims to find connections that could help improve care for people with CKD.
This study looks at how chronic kidney disease affects body composition (muscle, fat, and water) in children between 6 and 18 years old. It uses a simple, painless test called bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure these things, which may help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
This trial tests if a portable ECG device can help detect high potassium levels early in people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease. It aims to make monitoring easier without frequent blood tests.
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 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.
