What this research studies
If you join, you would be part of a long-term group of adults with reduced kidney function who have regular visits and data collection. You may give blood and urine samples, have health measurements and questionnaires, and share medical events so researchers can see how kidney and heart health change. The project builds on a diverse cohort recruited at multiple clinical centers and includes many focused ancillary studies. The goal is to find early signs and pathways that lead to worsening kidney disease and heart complications.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults (typically 21 years or older) with chronic kidney disease or reduced kidney function who can attend a participating CRIC clinical center would be ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People without chronic kidney disease or those already on long-term dialysis or with a recent kidney transplant are unlikely to be eligible or to gain direct benefit from this cohort follow-up.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Results could help doctors spot who is most likely to get worse and guide ways to slow kidney decline and prevent heart disease.
How similar studies have performed: The CRIC cohort is a landmark, long-running study whose prior findings have already advanced understanding of CKD progression and cardiovascular complications, so this approach is well established.
