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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the link between gum disease (periodontitis) and chronic kidney disease. It may help understand if treating one affects the other.
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 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 looks at how mouth bacteria and the immune system may work together to cause gum disease (periodontitis), especially in people with certain genetic immune problems. It may help researchers understand what drives severe gum disease and how to better monitor or treat it in the future.
This study is collecting information from people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to understand how the disease progresses over time. It does not test any new treatments, so you keep your usual care.
