Physical effects in children with chronic kidney failure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at physical changes in children with chronic kidney failure compared to healthy children. If you join, you will have some physical measurements taken to help doctors understand how kidney disease affects the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 8 and 18 years old.
- You have chronic kidney failure (for the patient group) or are generally healthy (for the healthy group).
- You have been medically stable for at least the last 3 weeks.
- You are able to cooperate with simple physical measurements.
- You are willing to take part in the study.
- You do not have any recent orthopedic, nerve, heart, or mental health issues that would make measurements hard.

This study looks at how chronic kidney disease affects body composition (muscle, fat, and water) in children between 6 and 18 years old. It uses a simple, painless test called bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure these things, which may help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
This study looks at physical activity in teens with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not yet on dialysis or have had a transplant. It aims to understand their current activity levels and how to help them stay active safely.
This study looks at how quickly chronic kidney disease (CKD) gets worse over time. Researchers want to find out which factors predict faster progression, so they can better help people slow down kidney damage. If you have CKD but are not yet on dialysis, you may be able to join.
This study looks at tiny genetic pieces in your blood to find markers that might help track kidney disease. If you join, researchers will compare these markers between healthy people, people with high blood pressure, and people with chronic kidney disease.
This study looks at how well children with chronic kidney disease can do daily activities, like walking, climbing, and playing. It helps doctors understand how kidney disease affects a child's strength and energy.
This is a long-term study that watches children and young adults with chronic kidney disease to understand how the illness changes and to improve care. You may be asked to complete regular visits and questionnaires, and your kidney function will be tracked over time.
