Heart surgery in childhood may lead to silent kidney problems in teens

NCT ID NCT01845402

Summary

This study aimed to find out how common chronic kidney disease is in teenagers who had surgery to fix a heart defect when they were younger. Researchers tested 120 patients aged 10-15 to check their kidney function. They also looked back at the patients' medical records to see if anything from their surgery or recovery could predict future kidney problems.
