Hypertension in Children and Young People at Risk of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD
In brief
The goal of this project is to measure the prevalence of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) and hypertension in the general population of children and young people at risk of ADPKD, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for rapid diagnosis alongside genetic testing. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the prevalence of hypertension in a population sample of adolescents with ADPKD? Participants will have the following measurements performed: * Height and weight. * Blood pressure. * Non-invasive measurement of arterial stiffness. * Cardiac and renal MRI. * Blood sample. * Genetic testing.
