About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Nutritional Status of Gaucher's Disease Patients
This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the nutritional status of patients with Gaucher disease attending Assiut University Children's Hospital using anthropometric measurements and body composition analysis.
Read the detailed description
Gaucher disease is a lysosomal storage disorder that may affect growth and nutritional status, particularly in children. This observational study will include patients with confirmed Gaucher disease (types 1, 2, and 3) who attend follow-up visits at Assiut University Children's Hospital.
Nutritional status will be assessed by detailed dietary history, anthropometric measurements (weight, height, BMI, mid-arm circumference), and body composition analysis using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Gaucher Disease, run by Assiut University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Salma H Salem, Resident (+20 10 14620228, Salma.17308823@med.aun.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Prevalence of underweight (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2026.
