Parent and patient interviews for childhood kidney swelling
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses interviews to understand how swelling from nephrotic syndrome affects daily life for children and their caregivers. It may help researchers design better care by capturing the patient and parent perspective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at children’s experiences and understanding of nephrotic syndrome using questionnaires. It aims to learn what helps families and children, which could improve care over time.
This study collects medical information and samples from patients with podocytopathy—a type of autoimmune kidney disease that causes protein leakage into urine. Researchers will analyze your medical records and any blood or kidney tissue samples you've already had to better understand the disease and find better treatments.
This study looks at children newly diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome to understand how genes and proteins in the blood might predict the disease's course and response to treatment. By collecting samples, researchers hope to find markers that could guide better, more personalized care for future patients.
This trial collects medical data and blood/urine samples from patients with minimal change disease or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) to better understand how the immune system damages kidney cells.
This study is for children (and some newly diagnosed patients) who have nephrotic syndrome—kidneys leaking a lot of protein. It aims to better understand the kidney condition (sometimes using biopsy) and support future care decisions.
This study tracks children with nephrotic syndrome whose kidney disease does not respond to usual treatments. It aims to collect information and samples to better understand resistant forms of the condition.
