Chronic kidney disease and FGF23 protein study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how a protein called FGF23, which helps control minerals in your body, changes as kidney disease progresses. By understanding this, doctors may find better ways to manage kidney disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic kidney disease at stage 3a, 3b, 4, or 5 (based on your latest kidney function test).
- You are covered by a social security program (like Medicare or Medicaid).
- You are willing to give verbal consent to participate.
- You do not have active cancer, or a history of cancer that was in remission for less than 5 years, or if in remission for more than 5 years, you are not still receiving cancer treatment.
- You are not currently participating in another study related to treatments for kidney disease.
- You are not under legal guardianship or conservatorship.

This study looks at FGF19 to see if it can improve chronic kidney disease in people who do not have diabetes. Participants may receive FGF19 (and may need extra testing such as muscle biopsies).
This study looks for new markers in blood or urine that may help explain heart (cardiovascular) risk in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better predict risk, especially in those not yet on dialysis.
This study looks at a blood hormone called FGF23 and whether it is linked to heart (cardiovascular) problems in people with anemia. It also compares people with anemia who do and do not have chronic kidney disease, which may help researchers understand risk and targets.
This study looks at whether a blood protein called FGF23 is linked to irregular heartbeats in people on long-term hemodialysis (kidney dialysis). It may help doctors better predict heart risks.
This study looks at how replacing high-protein foods affects people with chronic kidney disease. If you join, you will eat a carefully controlled diet to help researchers understand if changing your protein intake can improve your kidney health.
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.
