Epidemiological Evaluation Of Chronic Kidney Disease In Pediatric Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Clinical and Laboratory Data Collection: Collection of anonymized clinical, demographic, laboratory, and therapeutic data from pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and matched controls. Data are collected through review of medical records and routine clinical assessments, including renal function evaluation (eGFR, creatinine, albuminuria), disease activity indices, and treatment history. No experimental intervention or modification of standard clinical practice is performed.
Study summary
This multicenter observational cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to compare it with a control group without IBD.
Inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic conditions that can also affect organs outside the intestine. Among these, kidney involvement has been reported, but data in pediatric populations are limited.
The study will collect clinical, laboratory, and demographic data from pediatric patients with IBD and matched controls without IBD. The main objective is to estimate the prevalence of CKD in children with IBD and compare it with that observed in the control group. Secondary objectives include describing patient characteristics and exploring potential associations between CKD, disease activity, and medical therapies.
The results of this study may improve the understanding of kidney complications in pediatric IBD and support earlier diagnosis and better clinical management.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease in Pediatric IBD Patients — At study enrollment (cross-sectional assessment)
Prevalence of patient with chronic kidney disease, compared with a matched control group without inflammatory bowel disease. Chronic kidney disease will be defined using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated with the Schwartz formula and/or presence of albuminuria.
