Body composition study in children with chronic kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
