Test a kidney scan to spot early blockage in newborns
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study checks whether a specific kidney test (a renogram scan) can detect a significant urine blockage early in babies born with ureter-pelvic junction obstruction (a narrow connection between the kidney and ureter). It may help clinicians decide sooner which babies need closer follow-up or treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 4 to 8 weeks old
- Your baby was diagnosed before birth with a kidney-to-ureter blockage (UPJO) by ultrasound
- After birth, the ultrasound showed UPJO with a measurement of at least 15 mm between day 1 and day 15
- The blockage is only on one side (not both kidneys/ureters)
- A parent/legal guardian can sign informed consent, and at least one parent is covered by national social security

This study looks at how well a certain treatment works for children with a blockage in one kidney (unilateral UPJO). It may help your child avoid more serious kidney problems.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan that measures kidney stiffness can predict how well a child's kidney will work after surgery to fix a ureter blockage. The goal is to help doctors know which children might recover better kidney function after the procedure.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to create detailed images of blood flow in the kidneys of children with congenital kidney and urinary tract conditions. It aims to improve how doctors assess blockages without needing radiation.
This study looks at a special kidney scan called a diuretic renogram. It compares two ways of reading the scan to see which one is better at finding a blockage in the kidney's drainage system. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat this condition.
This study offers free urine and ultrasound screening for kidney disease in all newborn infants, with a goal to find and track potential issues early over the first 3 years of life.
This study tests a scoring system to help doctors find kidney problems in newborns early. It may help improve care for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
