What this research studies
You would join a long-term group of adults with reduced kidney function who have been followed since 2001, contributing clinic visits, home measurements, and blood and urine samples. The team collects detailed health histories, heart and kidney tests, questionnaires, and links medical record data over time. Smaller ancillary projects may add extra tests or remote monitoring at home. Your participation helps researchers understand how kidney disease and related heart problems change across diverse groups.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults aged 21 and older with reduced kidney function or chronic kidney disease who can attend a CRIC clinic site or complete home-based testing are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People without chronic kidney disease or those unable to attend visits or provide samples are unlikely to receive direct benefits from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, continuing CRIC could help identify factors that slow kidney decline and prevent heart complications for people with chronic kidney disease.
How similar studies have performed: Earlier phases of CRIC have produced influential findings about CKD progression and cardiovascular complications, so this continuation builds on established success.
