Evaluating blood pressure in the lungs of kidney disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how to measure the blood pressure in the lungs of people who have chronic kidney disease. It uses both non-invasive (like ultrasound) and invasive (with a tube) methods to find out if they have high blood pressure in the lungs.
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) for at least 3 months
- You might have high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) based on symptoms or an echocardiogram
- You do NOT have a chronic lung disease
- You are not at high risk of bleeding

This study investigates why some dialysis patients develop high blood pressure in their lung blood vessels and how it affects their health. Researchers will assess heart function and follow patients over time to better understand this condition.
This study looks at how certain blood markers (biomarkers) relate to kidney function decline in people with pulmonary hypertension. Participants will have blood and urine tests, and their kidney function will be tracked over time.
This study is testing whether a new risk score can better predict outcomes for people who have both chronic lung disease and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). If you qualify, the researchers will follow your health over time to see how well the score works.
This study looks at lung tissue from surgery to learn how pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) develops in people with lung disease. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and treat this condition.
This study uses ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to check for signs of high blood pressure in the lungs in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to see how often this occurs and may help detect heart issues earlier in OSA patients.
This study looks at whether people with certain blood disorders (myeloproliferative neoplasms) have higher rates of high blood pressure in the lungs and reduced right heart function. By using an ultrasound of the heart, researchers hope to learn more about these complications and potentially improve monitoring and care.
