Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults with reduced kidney function enrolled in the CRIC study and eligible for continued follow-up.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not enrolled in CRIC or not meeting follow-up criteria may not directly benefit from this specific phase.
What this research studies
If you have reduced kidney function, this project coordinates data collection, analysis, and sharing across multiple sites to better understand how CKD progresses and what affects care. Researchers will gather diverse biological, physiological, and social data over time, including home-based kidney and heart measures, to build a clearer picture of CKD in adults. The work aims to improve how clinicians predict outcomes, tailor treatments, and support patients through the course of kidney disease.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Better understanding of CKD progression could lead to earlier interventions and personalized care for patients with kidney disease.
How similar studies have gone: CRIC has a robust track record of identifying factors that influence CKD progression and outcomes in diverse populations.
