Ultrasound test for early kidney changes in diabetes
This study uses a special ultrasound to look at blood flow in the kidneys of people with diabetes. It aims to find early signs of kidney damage, which could help manage diabetes better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 8 years old or older
- You have had diabetes for at least 1 year
- You do not have kidney disease from other causes (not diabetes)
- You have two functioning kidneys
- Your blood pressure is not severely uncontrolled
- You do not have any heart conditions

This study uses a simple neck ultrasound (like the one for carotid arteries) to look for early signs of hardening or blockage in the blood vessels of people with diabetes and kidney disease. The goal is to catch heart and blood vessel problems sooner, so you can get early care.
This study is testing a new way to find early signs of kidney damage in people with diabetes. The goal is to catch kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) sooner, so it can be managed more effectively.
This study looks for early warning signs in blood or other samples (using a special lab approach) to detect kidney problems sooner in people with diabetes. It may help patients and clinicians identify kidney risk earlier and follow changes over many years.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to see if it can detect nerve damage in people with diabetes. It may help doctors find diabetic peripheral neuropathy earlier and more accurately.
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
