Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are children aged 6 to 18 years who have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and are clinically stable.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with musculoskeletal diseases or cognitive problems that may interfere with functional capacity measurement may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the functional capacity of children diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) through various physical tests. The research will involve children aged 6 to 18 years who are clinically stable and willing to participate. By measuring their functional abilities, the study seeks to gain insights into how CKD affects children's daily activities and overall quality of life.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable information to improve the management and support for children with chronic kidney disease.
How similar studies have gone: While this study focuses on a specific population, similar observational studies assessing functional capacity in chronic conditions have shown success in providing insights into patient management.
