Association Between Biomarkers and Kidney Function Decline in Pulmonary Hypertension

Trial No results yet Not peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This is a study that is starting, so there are no results yet. It will check whether certain markers in urine and blood can predict how fast kidney filtering rate falls, known as eGFR. The people studied all have pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. If some markers track with faster decline, they could someday flag who needs closer watching, but nothing is proven yet.
