The Vitality Study

Currently Recruiting

20 Nov to 23 Nov 2025

$5,700

This study is investigating a potential treatment for people living with chronic kidney disease. This is a healthy volunteer participant study.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. This can lead to a buildup of toxins in the body, causing health issues such as fatigue, swelling, and high blood pressure. CKD often develops slowly over time, sometimes without noticeable symptoms in the early stages, and is commonly linked to conditions like diabetes and hypertension. While it cannot always be cured, early detection and management can help slow its progression, improve quality of life, and reduce the risk of serious complications.
