Massive study aims to catch kidney disease early in 13,000 children
NCT ID NCT06018831
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will screen 13,000 children in China using urine tests and ultrasound to find kidney disease early. The goal is to see how common kidney problems are in kids and to build a system to predict who is at risk. Children with abnormal results will be referred for further care.
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 lead to a simple, routine screening method to catch kidney disease early in children, potentially preventing serious complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational screening study, not a treatment trial. It may not prove that early detection improves outcomes, and many children with abnormal results may not have serious disease.
