Can a blood test predict insulin problems in prediabetic kidney patients?
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study wants to see if a simple blood test (the triglyceride-glucose index) can help predict early signs of insulin resistance in people with prediabetes and kidney disease. This might help doctors find and treat problems sooner.

This study looks at whether certain blood test results (triglyceride and glucose) can help predict acute kidney injury in ICU patients. It aims to find early warning signs so doctors can act sooner.
This study looks at whether high uric acid levels can hint at early kidney problems in people with prediabetes. It involves a blood test and follow-up over time to check kidney health.
This study checks whether a set of blood and urine tests can predict “acute kidney injury” (a sudden worsening of kidney function) earlier in people with diabetes who are undergoing a heart procedure. If the tests work, they may help doctors spot kidney trouble sooner and protect your kidneys.
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 trial is developing and checking a new technique to detect early diabetic nephropathy, which means early damage to the kidneys caused by diabetes. It may help people catch kidney problems sooner, so treatment can start earlier.
This study looks at whether certain proteins in your blood can help detect kidney damage earlier in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to find better ways to monitor kidney health and potentially prevent or delay diabetic kidney disease.
