Artery stiffness in young people with kidney disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 25 years old.
- You have chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is confirmed by two tests at least 3 months apart. You may be on dialysis or have had a kidney transplant.
- You are able to have tests like a 24-hour blood pressure monitor, an ultrasound of the heart, blood vessel checks, and an MRI scan.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you must have already completed similar tests in another study and agreed that your anonymous data can be used for this research.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how a kidney-related blood-pressure system works in children and teenagers, comparing those with newly diagnosed primary (no known cause) high blood pressure to those with normal blood pressure. It may help doctors better understand childhood blood-pressure changes and guide future care.
This study is looking at the link between kidney disease and heart disease. It aims to understand how heart problems affect people with chronic kidney disease. The trial does not test a new drug, but rather follows patients to learn more about their health.
This study looks at heart disease risk in children and young adults (ages 6-25) with long-term health conditions like certain heart, kidney, or diabetes disorders. The goal is to better understand and manage heart risks early.
This study looks at how to measure the blood pressure in the lungs of people who have chronic kidney disease. It uses both non-invasive (like ultrasound) and invasive (with a tube) methods to find out if they have high blood pressure in the lungs.
This study tests a new handheld device that uses gentle pulses to measure stiffness of your arteries, which can help predict heart disease risk. It is a quick, non-invasive test for people coming in for regular check-ups.
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.
