Kidney stones in children: risks and causes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at children who have had kidney stones or a related condition called nephrocalcinosis. It aims to learn why these happen in children and what risks or causes are involved, which may help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
