This study is investigating how chronic kidney disease affects the stiffness of major blood vessels in children and young adults ages 10–25. Researchers will use heart scans, ultrasound, and 24-hour blood pressure monitors to see whether kidney disease causes blood vessels to become stiffer than they should be at this age. The goal is to understand whether this stiffness happens early in kidney disease and how it relates to high blood pressure.
Young people with kidney disease often develop heart and blood vessel problems earlier than expected. This study exists to find out whether blood vessel stiffness is an early warning sign of these complications, so doctors can identify and help at-risk patients sooner.

You will visit the hospital for one main study visit where you'll complete several non-invasive tests: wearing a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours, having your heart scanned with ultrasound and MRI, having blood and urine tests, and having special scans of your arteries. If your blood pressure is above normal for your age, you may be invited back for a follow-up visit after your blood pressure treatment is adjusted. Some participants may optionally take part in additional breathing or leg blood flow tests.
