Screening for chronic kidney disease
Official title: Chronic Kidney Disease Screening in Patients Followed at a Tertiary Care Center
Run by Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine · NCT07153432 · Data updated 2026-11-12
We will see how common chronic kidney disease is among adults followed at a tertiary care center and how many cases were previously undiagnosed.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults followed at the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine who are older than 50, or adults 18+ with diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, atrial fibrillation, or heart failure, and who agree to participate are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Kidney transplant recipients, people not followed at the Institute, or those already in active nephrology care are unlikely to benefit from this screening-focused project.

What this trial studies
This observational project enrolls adults followed at the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine who are over 50 or adults 18+ with specified cardiovascular or metabolic risk conditions. Participants provide consent for review of medical records and available laboratory data, and kidney function indicators such as eGFR and urine testing will be used where present. The main outcome is the proportion of patients meeting criteria for chronic kidney disease and the share who were not previously diagnosed. Findings will describe prevalence and patterns across risk groups to inform local screening and care priorities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could identify people with previously unrecognized CKD so they can get earlier management to slow progression.
How similar studies have gone: Similar epidemiologic screening studies have commonly found substantial amounts of undiagnosed CKD, so the approach is established rather than novel.
