Irisin test for detecting diabetic kidney disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a hormone called irisin can help detect kidney problems early in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to find a new way to identify diabetic kidney disease as it gets worse.

This study collects and studies kidney tissue (from a biopsy or surgery) from people with diabetes-related kidney disease to learn more about the condition. You may be able to help if you've already had a kidney biopsy or certain kidney surgeries.
This trial studies whether a protein called irisin is linked to erectile function in men with type 2 diabetes and obesity. If you have type 2 diabetes, are obese, and have not responded to erectile dysfunction pills (PDE5 inhibitors), this study may help understand your condition better.
This study helps people with type 2 diabetes get the right kidney tests to catch kidney problems early. Your doctor will check your kidney health through a simple blood and urine test.
This study is looking at whether a protein in the blood called 'irisin' can be a sign of diabetic nerve damage. If you have type 2 diabetes and nerve symptoms, this research might help find a simple blood test to detect or monitor the condition.
This study tests a special eye test (fluorescein angiography) in people with diabetes and advanced kidney disease. The goal is to see how well the test works to check the health of blood vessels in the eye.
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.
