Quick kidney MRI test in children with kidney infection
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks whether a fast kidney MRI (“Quick MRI”) can help doctors in children who are being evaluated for kidney infection (pyelonephritis). It may help confirm kidney involvement without relying only on slower or more complex tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is being seen at American Family Children’s Hospital for a febrile UTI or suspected/confirmed kidney infection
- Your child is scheduled to have a DMSA scan (a kidney imaging test)
- Your child either is having DMSA as part of this current illness evaluation, or as routine care
- Your child has had more than one UTI in the past year (for the routine-care part of the study)
- Your child can have an MRI safely and you are comfortable with the Quick MRI
- Urine testing shows signs of infection (pyuria), with a positive urine culture

This trial tests new MRI (scanner) software and hardware and checks how safely people can complete the scan. You may qualify if you’re an adult who can do MRI safely and (if contrast is used) have adequate kidney function and no relevant allergy.
This study uses MRI scans to check how well the kidneys work in children who are already scheduled to receive anesthesia for an MRI. It aims to make sure the anesthesia is safe for the kidneys.
This trial uses a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method to look at kidney function. It may help doctors better understand and monitor kidney problems.
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at the kidneys in people with different kinds of kidney disease, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, vasculitis, and after a kidney transplant. The goal is to better understand these conditions.
This study uses a special MRI technique to look at the kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease. It helps doctors see how the disease is affecting your kidneys and may guide better treatment.
This study uses MRI scans to develop better imaging tools for kidney disease and to test them in people with kidney problems. It may help improve how doctors measure kidney health in the future.
