Predicting nerve damage in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the risk of peripheral neuropathy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3 and 4, as well as those with diabetes. It focuses on identifying the common complication of peripheral neuropathy, which affects a significant portion of these patients. The study will utilize functional testing methods to improve the accuracy of neuropathy screening, addressing the limitations of current diagnostic tests that are often subjective or only detect advanced stages of nerve damage.
