The clinical trial process is rigorous and carefully designed to ensure safety and efficacy before any new drug, therapy, or medical device is released into the market.

Clinical trials are research studies conducted to evaluate new treatments, medications, or medical devices. They are crucial to advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care. Participating in clinical trials can provide access to innovative therapies that may not yet be widely available for patients with kidney disease.

eGFR stands for estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate. It's a blood test to measure how well your kidneys filter waste and excess fluids from your blood.
