Heart health in kids with kidney condition
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of nephrotic syndrome affect heart function in children. It may help doctors understand the heart risks in kids who need steroids for a long time compared to those whose condition doesn't respond to steroids.
