Glycocalyx and stress in blood vessel health
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (called the glycocalyx) and stress in the body relate to blood pressure and kidney health. Doctors want to compare people with high blood pressure and different stages of kidney damage to healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high blood pressure and possibly kidney damage caused by it, or you have high blood pressure without kidney damage, or you are a healthy volunteer.
- You do not have diabetes.
- You are a non-smoker.
- Your kidney disease, if present, must be due to high blood pressure — not any other cause.
- You do not have any autoimmune, inflammatory, or hormonal diseases that could affect your kidneys.

This study looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (the glycocalyx) and oxidative stress affect blood vessel function after heart bypass surgery. The goal is to better understand why some people recover differently.
This study looks at tiny genetic pieces in your blood to find markers that might help track kidney disease. If you join, researchers will compare these markers between healthy people, people with high blood pressure, and people with chronic kidney disease.
This study looks at tiny particles from blood vessel cells to understand early changes in people with newly diagnosed high blood pressure. It compares people with normal blood pressure and those with high blood pressure who have never been treated.
This study looks at how well the lining of your blood vessels (the endothelium) works in people with different blood pressure levels, from normal to mildly high. It aims to understand early changes in blood vessel health that could help prevent future heart problems.
This study looks at how blood vessels work in people with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or chronic kidney disease, and in healthy volunteers. It uses special signals to understand blood vessel health, which may help improve future care.
This study looks at how stiff the arteries are in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to healthy controls. The results may help doctors better understand heart risks and improve care for young people with kidney problems.
