Horseshoe kidney study in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows children with a horseshoe kidney to understand how the condition affects kidney health and to identify any related birth defects. It may help researchers learn more about this condition and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a confirmed horseshoe kidney (a condition where the kidneys are joined together at the bottom).
- Your child must be between 0 and 18 years old when they first join the study.
- You (or your child's guardian) must sign a consent form to allow participation.
- Your child cannot have been diagnosed with another type of kidney or urinary tract birth defect (such as a different form of CAKUT).
