  This study is testing if the diabetes medication dapagliflozin can help raise hemoglobin levels in adults with chronic kidney disease and anemia who are already on other treatments.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Mansoura University · Al Mansurah · NCT06897605

• Using Camostat to Protect Kidneys in Chronic Kidney Disease

  This study is testing if a medication called Camostat can help protect the kidneys and improve health in people with chronic kidney disease.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Odense University Hospital · Odense · NCT06794593

• Using MRI to study kidney disease and its complications

  This study is testing if a special type of MRI can help find out more about kidney problems and their effects on heart health in people with acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.

  Recruiting University of Edinburgh · Edinburgh · NCT06698614

• Monocyte responses in adults with type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease

  This study will test whether time-in-range changes how monocytes become activated in adults with type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease and whether a GLP-1 drug can reduce that activation in lab tests.
