Description
Since its inception in 2003, the scientific aims of CKiD have been to determine the risk factors for decline in kidney function and to define how progressive decline in kidney function impacts biomarkers of risk factors for cardiovascular disease; neurocognitive function and behavior; and growth failure and its associated morbidity. The goals have been extended to understand the impact of childhood CKD on: the risk factors for decline in kidney function in childhood and young adulthood; the development of cardiovascular disease in adolescence and young adulthood; the trajectories of markers o…
