Kidney health and metabolic changes in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how kidney function and metabolic problems (like diabetes or high blood pressure) change over time in older adults. It may help find ways to prevent new kidney disease or slow the worsening of existing kidney disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years of age or older.
- Depending on the part of the study, you either have chronic kidney disease (CKD) or you do not. The study looks at both groups.
- You must have had a blood or urine test for kidney function between 2010 and 2025, with a follow-up test at least 6 months later.
- If you have kidney disease, you must not be on dialysis or have had a kidney transplant when the study starts.
- You must not have had a sudden, short-term kidney injury in the last 3 months.
- You must not have severe heart failure, a recent heart attack (within 6 months), advanced liver disease, or active cancer.

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 follows Native American adults with kidney function changes (either moderately reduced kidney filtration or early urine protein). It aims to better understand kidney disease over time and what factors predict progress, which may help improve care for people like you.
This study looks at how well we can predict heart and kidney problems in people who have both coronary heart disease and chronic kidney disease. By analyzing certain markers, researchers hope to create a better risk assessment tool.
This study follows adults with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis. It aims to better understand kidney health and test what care or monitoring might help over time.
This study tests a program to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stay healthy through diet tracking and other proactive steps. It focuses on people whose kidney function has declined but who are not yet on dialysis.
This study is a simple screening to check for early signs of chronic kidney disease. It aims to find kidney problems in people who are at higher risk due to age or other health conditions.
