Read our Epilepsy research guide →This research study is looking at how epilepsy medications affect kidney function in children ages 1 month to 15 years old. Researchers will measure kidney health by collecting blood samples and performing imaging tests. The goal is to understand how different seizure medications impact the kidneys over time.
Many epilepsy medications are processed through the kidneys, and some of them have been linked to kidney problems with long-term use. This study exists to find out how common kidney issues are in children taking these medications and to help doctors better monitor and manage patients' health.

If you join this study, you will visit Sohag University Hospital where doctors will collect information about your health history and seizure patterns. You will have blood drawn to measure kidney function and may receive an abdominal ultrasound. The study is observational, meaning you won't be given a new medication to try — researchers will simply assess your current kidney health in relation to the epilepsy medication you're already taking.
