MRI Scans to Detect Bone and Muscle Loss in Kidney Disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new MRI imaging method to detect bone loss (osteoporosis) and muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with chronic kidney disease. The scan may help doctors catch these problems earlier and manage kidney disease better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age 18–80 years old
- Able to understand and sign consent to participate
- Able to have MRI scans of your lower spine and thigh
- Either have chronic kidney disease (kidney function below 60 for at least 3 months) OR have normal kidney function (for the control group)
- No MRI contraindications like pacemakers, metal implants, or severe claustrophobia
- Not currently taking bone-loss medications like bisphosphonates

This trial uses scans like X-rays, CT, or MRI to study how bones and joints age. It aims to understand aging-related problems and may help develop better ways to detect or treat them.
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how your kidneys handle salt (sodium). It may help researchers better understand kidney function in healthy people and in people with chronic kidney disease.
This study uses advanced imaging (PET/MRI) to look at how kidney disease affects the heart and blood vessels. It may help doctors better understand and treat chronic kidney disease.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to look at the kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better understand how the disease affects kidney function.
This trial uses a special MRI technique called multifrequency magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to see if it can help evaluate chronic kidney disease. It may provide a non-invasive way to monitor kidney health without needing a biopsy.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better understand kidney disease and improve imaging techniques. It may help doctors diagnose and monitor kidney problems more effectively.
