Kidney and urinary birth defects in children
This study looks at patterns of congenital kidney and urinary tract problems (CAKUT) in children. It uses ultrasound results from kids admitted to the pediatric department to understand these birth defects better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child admitted to the pediatric department at Sohag University Hospital.
- You had a kidney ultrasound done at the same hospital.
- You are 18 years old or younger.
- Your kidney problem is likely from a birth defect (congenital), not from a disease you got later.
- You and your family agree to join the study.

This study looks at children with congenital hepatic fibrosis and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. It aims to learn more about these conditions and how they affect children.
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.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to create detailed images of blood flow in the kidneys of children with congenital kidney and urinary tract conditions. It aims to improve how doctors assess blockages without needing radiation.
This study offers free urine and ultrasound screening for kidney disease in all newborn infants, with a goal to find and track potential issues early over the first 3 years of life.
This trial studies whether doing an ultrasound scan after a child’s first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) is useful. The goal is to see which children might need further attention based on the scan.
This study follows babies with hydronephrosis (widening of the kidney's drainage area) to see how the condition changes naturally over 3 years. No treatment is given, only regular ultrasound check-ups to learn and guide future care.
