High blood pressure in kids at risk for inherited kidney disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks for early signs of high blood pressure in children and teens (12–17) who have a parent with ADPKD, a kidney condition. It uses non-invasive tests like blood pressure monitoring and MRI to track kidney health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 17 years old
- A parent has a confirmed diagnosis of ADPKD (a common form of kidney disease)
- You and your parent agree to genetic testing and understand what the results could mean
- You can have blood pressure checks (at the clinic and over 24 hours), an MRI, and a blood test
- You do not have certain heart problems or a condition called TSC with a specific gene change

This study tests whether a specific diet can lower a marker of inflammation in the urine, which may help slow kidney damage in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
This study follows patients with a genetic kidney disease (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) who are on dialysis and receive a procedure to block blood flow to their enlarged kidneys. Researchers will track how well the procedure works and how it affects patients over time using imaging scans.
This study tests whether following a special diet for one week can help people with polycystic kidney disease. It aims to see if the diet is safe and if it can slow down the disease.
This study looks at how stiff the arteries are in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to healthy controls. The results may help doctors better understand heart risks and improve care for young people with kidney problems.
This study looks at people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease to learn more about the condition. It is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are tested—just gathering information from your medical history and tests.
This observational study follows people early in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and also some healthy volunteers to learn how the kidneys work over time. It may help researchers understand early changes, which could guide future treatments.
