Italian Registry of Pediatric Dialysis: collecting data from kids on kidney replacement therapy
Official title: Il Registro Italiano di Dialisi Pediatrica (RIDP) - Italian Registry of Pediatric Dialysis
Run by Istituto Giannina Gaslini · NCT07918066 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This registry in Italy tests how collecting epidemiological, clinical, and treatment data from children on dialysis or pre-emptive kidney transplants can help centers share protocols and improve care.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Children under 18 who begin chronic kidney replacement therapy (dialysis or pre-emptive kidney transplantation) are eligible for inclusion.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not stay on kidney replacement therapy for at least 30 days before potential drop-out may not contribute complete data.

What this trial studies
This project collects epidemiological, clinical, and biochemical information as well as dialysis treatment details from pediatric patients at participating Italian centers. It aims to promote collaboration, standardize data collection, and understand real-world outcomes in pediatric kidney replacement therapy. Inclusion focuses on individuals under 18 at the start of their first chronic kidney replacement treatment, with a minimum 30 days of therapy to avoid early drop-out. Data will come from multiple centers across Italy, with the lead sponsor coordinating data gathering and sharing among sites.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the registry could improve understanding of pediatric dialysis and transplantation outcomes and support better clinical protocols across centers.
How similar studies have gone: Registries in pediatric nephrology have shown value in informing practice and guiding improvements in care, though this specific Italian registry is observational and primarily descriptive.
