Do I need to take part?

No, you do not have to take part in this trial. It is entirely your decision. It is important to be aware that if you join this study, it will not affect any decisions about other medical treatment you might need or be receiving from your own doctors.

If you do decide to come to the first study appointment, you will be given an opportunity to ask questions about the study. Once we have checked your blood and urine tests, we will also check with the hospital doctor leading the trial in your hospital or GP practice that they think you are appropriate to join the study. We will also tell your hospital or GP practice that you wish to take part.

By joining this study, you will become part of our efforts to save the lives of people with kidney problems and hopefully reduce the need for kidney dialysis in years to come.
