The AI-CRIC Study is a long-term research project that follows American Indian people who have early signs of kidney disease. Researchers want to understand what causes kidney disease to progress faster or slower in American Indian communities, and how kidney disease connects to heart disease. The study will collect health information, blood and urine samples, and survey responses to build a better picture of disease risk factors specific to American Indian populations.
Kidney disease and heart disease disproportionately affect American Indian communities, but most research has focused on other populations. This study exists to fill that gap and identify unique risk factors and warning signs in American Indian patients, so that doctors can better predict and prevent disease progression.

You'll visit a clinic for a baseline appointment lasting 1 to 2 hours, where staff will measure your weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and collect blood and urine samples for kidney and heart function tests. You'll also answer detailed questionnaires about your health history, diet, mood, and activity level. After that, you'll receive a phone call 6 months later to check on any medical changes, and then return for yearly clinic visits with similar (though not identical) procedures. Some participants may also join optional sub-studies using remote data collection to track kidney function trends over time.
