What this research studies
If you join, the team will continue following kids already in CKiD and will invite teens aged 14–17 to join so we can watch kidney function and heart health as you move into adulthood. Most data can be collected remotely through home or local lab visits for vitals and blood tests, and by pulling relevant information from your electronic health record. You can report symptoms and other information through secure web or mobile forms, and the team will combine clinical markers with social and health data to build prediction tools. The project links with other pediatric kidney cohorts to improve comparisons and learnings.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease, especially teens aged about 14–17 who are transitioning toward adult care, are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People without chronic kidney disease or those not in the pediatric/young-adult age range are unlikely to receive direct benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Results could help identify kids at higher risk of faster kidney decline so doctors can target monitoring and early treatment.
How similar studies have performed: Earlier CKiD and related pediatric kidney cohorts have provided important findings about childhood CKD, while the combination of remote data collection and machine-learning prediction in teens is a newer extension of that work.
