This is a research study designed to understand what it's really like to live with chronic kidney disease as a woman of childbearing age. Rather than focusing only on medical facts, researchers want to hear your personal story — how the condition affects your daily life, your relationships, your hopes for the future, and your overall well-being. The study compares the experiences of women whose kidney disease runs in their family with those whose kidney disease developed for other reasons.
Chronic kidney disease is often called an 'invisible illness' because people may not look or feel sick even though their kidneys aren't working well. Doctors want to better understand how this invisible condition truly affects women's lives — emotionally, socially, and psychologically — so they can provide better support and care.

You would take part in one or more private, one-on-one interviews with a researcher at Caen University Hospital. During these interviews, you'll be asked open-ended questions about your life with kidney disease — how it affects you emotionally, socially, and in your daily routines — and you'll have time to share whatever feels important to you. The interviews are designed to be conversational and focused on your unique experience, and they typically last an hour or more.
