Imaging heart and kidney health in chronic kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses advanced imaging (PET/MRI) to look at how kidney disease affects the heart and blood vessels. It may help doctors better understand and treat chronic kidney disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease by your doctor.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and you agree to use birth control if needed.
- You do not have metal implants in your body (like a pacemaker or certain surgical clips) that would make MRI unsafe.
- You do not have severe heart disease, active cancer, or a serious infection.
- You are able to lie still in an MRI machine without severe claustrophobia or breathing trouble.

This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look for scarring in the kidneys. The goal is to see if the scan can detect kidney fibrosis better than current methods.
This trial is testing a new imaging method (68Ga-FAPI PET/CMR) to better see and understand heart problems. It might help doctors diagnose or monitor conditions like heart failure or inflammation.
This study uses advanced heart scans (PET/CT and MRI) to look at inflammation, blood vessel health, and scarring in the hearts of people with Fabry disease. It aims to better understand how Fabry disease affects the heart and find new ways to track or treat these changes.
This study uses MRI scans to develop better imaging tools for kidney disease and to test them in people with kidney problems. It may help improve how doctors measure kidney health in the future.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how Fabry disease affects the kidneys, including scarring, swelling, and oxygen levels. It may help researchers understand kidney problems better and find new ways to monitor the disease.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
