Measuring lung blood pressure in chronic kidney disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well different methods (including a tube in the heart and non-invasive tests) measure blood pressure in the lungs of people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 aims to better understand how COPD affects the blood vessels in your lungs by looking at measurements from a right heart catheterization. It may help doctors identify a specific pattern of lung and heart problems in people with COPD.
This study checks for a condition called pulmonary hypertension in people who have a certain type of heart failure (where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax well). It aims to find out how common it is and what it looks like.
This study is looking at the link between kidney disease and heart disease. It aims to understand how heart problems affect people with chronic kidney disease. The trial does not test a new drug, but rather follows patients to learn more about their health.
This study looks at lung tissue from people having chest surgery to understand why some lung diseases lead to high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). You may be eligible if you're having lung surgery or are on the lung transplant list.
