Heart muscle thickness in kidney disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the heart's main pumping chamber in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand and manage heart changes that often happen with kidney problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You have chronic kidney disease (CKD) at stage 3, 4, or 5.
- Your health has been stable for at least the past 3 months.
- If you're in the anemia part of the study, your hemoglobin (a measure of red blood cells) must be below 10 g/dL.
- You must not have heart valve problems or blocked heart arteries, and your blood pressure must be under 180/110.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well heart ultrasound (echocardiography) images and clinical information can be used to diagnose cardiac conditions. If you have a clear ultrasound study already or can get one with good image quality, your information may help improve diagnostic accuracy.
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure heart stiffness in people 60 and older who have heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced pumping function, with or without a condition called ATTR amyloidosis (a protein buildup in the heart). It also includes healthy controls.
This study looks at new ways to measure heart structure and heart pumping function in people with high blood pressure. The results may help doctors better understand heart changes over time and improve care.
This study looks at how high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in people with chronic kidney disease may affect the heart. Doctors will use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for changes.
This study looks at how to measure the blood pressure in the lungs of people who have chronic kidney disease. It uses both non-invasive (like ultrasound) and invasive (with a tube) methods to find out if they have high blood pressure in the lungs.
This is an observational study (it mainly tracks what happens over time) for people with thickened heart muscle due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. You may be eligible if an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) shows the required thickness and you don’t have certain heart valve disease.
