Gum disease and kidney health study
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mouth & dental, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the link between gum disease (periodontitis) and chronic kidney disease. It may help understand if treating one affects the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how diet affects the health of your gums in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It may help understand if certain foods can improve mouth health and overall well-being.
This study explores whether people with certain rare kidney diseases or chronic kidney problems have more gum disease than others. Researchers will examine your teeth and gums to understand the connection and help improve care for people with kidney conditions.
This trial tests whether a deep dental cleaning procedure can help slow the progression of advanced kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes who are not yet on dialysis. It may be an option for those with moderate gum disease and at least 20 natural teeth.
This study looks at a specific immune marker (TLR-4) in people with gum disease, comparing those who also have end-stage kidney disease (on dialysis) to those who are otherwise healthy. The goal is to understand how gum disease might be different when kidney failure is also present.
This study examines whether certain microscopic parasites in the mouth are linked to gum disease. Researchers will compare people with healthy gums to those with gum inflammation or disease to understand this connection better.
This study looks at gum disease (periodontitis and gingivitis) and inflammation using blood and dental samples. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects gum health.
