Sweat patch test for early kidney disease detection
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a sweat patch to detect early signs of kidney disease. The patch collects sweat, and researchers look for certain markers that might help find kidney problems earlier. If you have stable chronic kidney disease, this could help improve detection and monitoring without needing blood tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have chronic kidney disease (CKD), which means your kidney function is lower than normal or you have signs of kidney damage.
- Your kidney function has been stable over the last two months (no big changes).
- You do not have any skin problems (like infections or open wounds) on the area where the patch will be placed.
- You do not have conditions like a kidney transplant, kidney stones, eye pressure (glaucoma), metal implants, or you are not taking immune-suppressing medicines.

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 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 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 checks how well diuretics (water pills) work in people with moderate chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand how to better treat fluid buildup in patients.
