Summary
Researchers at the University of Michigan and Northwestern University are interviewing children, adults, and parents of young children about their experiences with swelling caused by Nephrotic Syndrome. The goal is to develop a survey that can be used in future clinical trials to test new medications. This study does not test any treatment but focuses on understanding symptoms to improve how drug effectiveness is measured.
