Eye-brain-kidney study in chronic kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is looking at how chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects the eyes, brain, and kidneys. It uses MRI scans to examine these organs, and aims to find connections that could help improve care for people with CKD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at risk factors and body “omics” information (like blood/tissue patterns) to better understand chronic kidney disease caused by metabolic diseases. It may help researchers find better ways to predict or manage kidney problems in people with these conditions.
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 checks how heart and kidney health are related in people with kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. It is a single visit with tests to see if certain heart problems are common in these conditions.
This study tests a new way to measure kidney function using harmless electrical signals instead of needles. It may help people with chronic kidney disease avoid frequent blood draws.
This study uses a painless eye scan to learn more about how kidney disease may be linked to eye changes. It may help improve understanding and future care for people with chronic kidney disease and/or high blood pressure.
