Can MRI and genes predict high blood pressure in kids with kidney disease risk?
NCT ID NCT07260071
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to find out how common high blood pressure is in children and teenagers (ages 12-17) who are at risk for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) because a parent has it. Researchers will use MRI scans and genetic tests to detect early signs of the disease. Participants will have blood pressure checks, blood tests, and heart and kidney imaging. The goal is to better understand when high blood pressure starts in these young people.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help identify early markers of kidney disease and high blood pressure in young people, leading to earlier monitoring and care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new drug or therapy, so direct health benefits for participants are unlikely.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 12 - 17 years at the time of consent * Able to tolerate the key study investigations (office blood pressure measurement, ambulatory blood pressure measurement, MRI and blood test) * Parent with confirmed clinical diagnosis of ADPKD * Parent (if child \<16 years) or both parent and young person (if \>=16 years) consents to genetic testing for ADPKD and demonstrates understanding of the implications of this. Exclusion Criteria: * 18 years or above at the time of study entry * Unable to tolerate key study investigations * Presence of associated co-morbidities which make it difficult to interpret results, including congenital cardiac anomalies and known TSC-PKD1 mutations * Unwilling to undergo genetic testing for ADPKD
