This observational study aims to understand how glomerular disease (a type of kidney disease) affects the strength and quality of your bones. Researchers will use imaging techniques like DXA scans (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) and HR-pQCT (High Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography) to measure bone strength in your arms and legs. They will also collect blood and urine samples, and ask you to complete questionnaires about your health, diet, and activity. The study is looking for children and adults aged 5 to 55 years who have been diagnosed with glomerular disease. The main goal is to see how bone strength changes over 12 months in people with this condition.

Study design

This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 270 participants. It is not a treatment study, but rather aims to understand the impact of glomerular disease on bone health.

What's involved

You would have imaging scans (DXA and HR-pQCT), blood draws, urine collections, and complete questionnaires at the beginning of the study and again after 12 months.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for 12 months, with assessments at baseline and the 12-month visit.
