Do hormone-disrupting chemicals build up in children on dialysis?
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks if certain chemicals that can affect hormones (called endocrine disruptors) build up in the bodies of children with kidney problems, especially those on dialysis. It aims to see if these chemicals are more common in children with worse kidney function or on dialysis, which could help guide future care.

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.
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.
This study looks at improving how well dialysis removes waste from the blood and uses water in children. It may help make treatments more effective and efficient.
This study looks at heart and bone health in people on dialysis compared to healthy volunteers. If you are on dialysis for at least 6 months, or if you are healthy with no kidney issues, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how well and how safely a nightly dialysis machine (APD) works for young children with kidney failure. It aims to see if this treatment helps kids who are small (≤20 kg) stay healthy.
This study looks at how fluid levels change in children on regular hemodialysis (a treatment for kidney failure). It may help doctors better manage their care.
