Gum disease and kidney health study
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mouth & dental, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) and chronic kidney disease are connected. By joining, you'll help researchers understand if treating one might affect the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- If you don't have either condition, you can join as a healthy control.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not currently smoke, abuse alcohol, or chew betel nut.

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 study looks at how a special diet might affect your kidneys and your oral health. It aims to find out if changing what you eat can help people with chronic kidney disease feel better and have healthier gums.
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 looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) relates to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise your risk for heart disease and diabetes. It measures the surface area of gum inflammation to better understand this link, which may lead to better prevention and care.
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.
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.
