Preconditioning therapy for chronic kidney disease patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether repeated brief periods of reduced blood flow (like a gentle squeeze on your arm) can improve how your body handles energy and blood flow. It is designed for people with any stage of chronic kidney disease (G1–G5).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have chronic kidney disease (any stage, from G1 to G5).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are willing to give informed consent to participate.
- You do not have severe heart failure (NYHA IV).

This trial studies whether high-intensity physical exercise helps people with chronic kidney disease, including those on dialysis. It aims to improve health and physical function.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive procedure on your arm can change certain substances in your blood. It may help researchers understand how to protect the body from injury.
This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive blood pressure cuff procedure can improve blood vessel health in people with possible heart failure. It is an early, single-session study to see how the body responds.
This study tests if a device that briefly squeezes your arm (like a blood pressure cuff) can help protect your kidneys from further damage caused by diabetes. You will use the device at home by yourself.
This study tests whether a brief, controlled interruption of blood flow to the kidney before surgery (called ischemic preconditioning) can reduce the risk of kidney injury afterward. It may help protect your kidney function during a partial nephrectomy.
