Testing kidney reserve with a protein drink
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a simple method to measure your kidneys' ability to work harder after a protein-rich drink. If you have mild to moderately reduced kidney function, this test may help doctors better understand your kidney health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your kidney function (eGFR) is above 30, meaning your kidneys are working at least moderately well.
- You can fast (no food or drink except water) for at least 8 hours before the test day.
- You are not pregnant and are willing to use birth control during the study (or are past childbearing age).
- You can stop taking certain blood pressure or diabetes medications for a few days before the study (if you take them).
- You do not have skin problems on your upper chest, like allergies to tape or significant scarring or tattoos.
