First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 300 preterm and full-term infants from birth to age 10 to see how their kidneys grow and function. Researchers use ultrasound and blood/urine tests to find early markers of kidney injury and high blood pressure. The goal is to identify at-risk children before they develop serious adult diseases like hypertension or chronic kidney disease.
