Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study evaluates renal function among children with idiopathic epilepsy using clinical assessment, laboratory markers (CBC, serum creatinine, electrolytes, ABG, urinalysis, liver functions), EEG findings, and abdominal ultrasound. The purpose is to estimate the prevalence of renal affection and its possible relation to AED use.
This observational cross-sectional study evaluates renal function in pediatric patients with epilepsy by measuring serum creatinine levels at the time of enrollment. The study will enroll children of various ages and both sexes, representing multiple epilepsy types and receiving different antiepileptic drug regimens.
Comprehensive baseline data, including demographic characteristics, medical history, seizure type and frequency, and current medication usage, will be collected. Venous blood samples will be obtained for serum creatinine measurement using validated clinical laboratory methods, ensuring standardized assessment of renal function.
The study's primary objective is to determine baseline renal function in this population and to investigate potential associations between antiepileptic drug therapy and renal outcomes. Secondary analyses will explore correlations between serum creatinine levels and patient-specific factors such as age, sex, epilepsy type, duration of therapy, and comorbidities.
All data will be handled in accordance with institutional and regulatory guidelines for clinical research. The results are intended to inform clinical monitoring practices, optimize antiepileptic drug management, and support future research on kidney function in children with epilepsy.
