Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial aims to identify lipid metabolism problems early in pediatric patients who have chronic illnesses such as congenital heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, or rheumatic diseases. It uses a blood test and a questionnaire to screen for risk factors and inherited lipid disorders. Participants are 5 to 18 years old and are treated at the University Hospital Jena’s pediatric clinics. The study seeks to determine how feasible and informative universal lipid screening is in this setting. No treatment or intervention beyond screening is described in the protocol.
