Common questions.
What is eGFR?
An estimate of how well your kidneys filter, calculated from a blood test. Studies use it to see which stage of kidney disease you have.
Can I join if I’m on dialysis?
Some studies are for people on dialysis and others are for earlier stages. The coordinator checks which ones fit you.
Do I need a referral from my kidney doctor?
No. You can contact us directly, and we coordinate with your doctors when the study requires it.
Status: our first studies in this area are in start-up. We list each study on Current Trials only after the sponsor and the IRB approve it.
