Phase N/A
**Multifrequency MRE in Evaluation of Chronic Kidney Diseases** Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects many people worldwide, often leading to serious health problems or the need for kidney treatments. A common issue in CKD is kidney fibrosis, which is scarring in the kidneys. This study looks at a new way to check for kidney fibrosis using a technique called Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE). MRE is similar to MRI but focuses on how stiff the kidney tissue is. A biopsy, which is taking a small piece of kidney tissue for testing, is the usual way to check for fibrosis, but it's invasive and not perfect. MRE could be a better, noninvasive way to assess fibrosis, especially in early-stage CKD. This study will explore how well MRE works for this purpose. **Key Points:** - Study involves CKD patients aged 18-65 who have had an MRI and are scheduled for a biopsy. - Participants must complete an MRE scan within 3 days before their biopsy. - People with electronic devices that aren't safe for MRI, pregnant women, or those with severe anxiety should not participate.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
