The CRIC study provides unique and valuable knowledge about chronic kidney disease

The CRIC Study was established in 2001 by the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to improve the understanding of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and related cardiovascular illness. The study’s goals are:

To examine risk factors for progression of CKD and cardiovascular disease,
To develop models that identify high-risk subgroups,
To assist in the development of treatment trials and therapies.

The CRIC Study initially enrolled over 3939 people with CKD who remain in long-term follow-up. Between July 2013 and August 2015, an additional 1560 people with CKD were invited to join the study with an emphasis on older Americans. The focus of the study was modified to emphasize early forms of CKD and the impact of CKD on multiple dimensions of health status. Follow-up of study participants continues at eleven CRIC Study Centers.
