Kidney disease in heart failure with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how kidney disease relates to a type of heart failure (called HFpEF) that often happens in people with obesity. It will help doctors understand this connection better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 35.
- Your kidney function is stable (eGFR at least 60).
- You do not have other serious illnesses like advanced kidney disease or cancer.

This study tests whether weight loss treatments can improve muscle and blood vessel function in people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) who also have obesity. It may help if you have heart failure with a normal ejection fraction and a high BMI.
This study tests a new approach to protect the heart and kidneys in people with both chronic kidney disease and heart or blood vessel problems. By optimising treatment, researchers hope to reduce the risk of further kidney or heart damage.
This study looks at people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't fill properly. Researchers are using ultrasound pictures of the heart (echocardiograms) and blood tests to better understand this condition and find better ways to treat it.
This study looks for people who may have heart failure with preserved pumping function, where the heart is stiff and doesn't fill properly. It aims to better understand and identify this condition to improve care.
This trial tests a new treatment for people with heart failure and severely reduced kidney function. It aims to see if the treatment can help protect both the heart and kidneys.
This study follows people with obesity who are having weight-loss surgery to see if the surgery can help prevent a specific type of heart problem (HFpEF) that sometimes develops in people carrying excess weight. Researchers will track your heart health and metabolism before and after surgery.
