Study of the Quality of Life in School Aged-children With Posterior Urethral Valves
Key takeaways
Posterior urethral valves are a birth defect that blocks the urethra in boys and can slowly harm the kidneys. Up to half of these children later develop chronic kidney disease. This study will measure quality of life in school-aged children with the condition, and is just starting, so there are no results yet.
