ClinConnect Summary
The PACE-CKD trial is a study designed to help women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) understand their options regarding pregnancy and contraception. The goal is to see if a special educational tool can assist patients in making informed decisions about their reproductive health. This pilot study is currently looking for female participants between the ages of 18 and 45 who have been diagnosed with CKD, which means their kidneys are not functioning properly for more than three months. However, individuals who are currently on dialysis, have had a kidney transplant, are pregnant, or cannot participate due to cognitive or visual impairments are not eligible for this study.
If you decide to participate, you will have the chance to use this educational tool that is designed to be easy to understand and supportive of your health decisions. Your feedback will help researchers learn how effective and acceptable this tool is for future studies. This could lead to better resources for women with CKD in the future. If you’re interested and meet the eligibility criteria, this could be a valuable opportunity to contribute to important research while learning more about your options.
