Kidney ultrasound and health measurements for people without diabetes or high blood pressure
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well a “kidney ultrasound index” (a measurement from an ultrasound and health factors) can reflect kidney health. It may help researchers better understand which people are most likely to stay healthy and who may be at risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have never been diagnosed with diabetes or high blood pressure (hypertension).
- Your kidney blood test result (eGFR) must be above 60.
- Your kidney ultrasound must look structurally normal.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be under 27.
- You must not need dialysis or have very advanced kidney failure (eGFR 30 or less).
- You should be able to get clear kidney images on ultrasound (no issues that block the view).

This study uses ultrasound to look at blood flow in the kidneys and other organs to find out why acute kidney injury happens. By checking this early in the ICU stay, doctors hope to improve treatment and recovery.
This study looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
This study uses a simple ultrasound test (kidney artery scan) to see if it can predict kidney problems early in people who are very ill. It may help doctors protect your kidneys during your hospital stay.
This study looks at whether measuring blood flow in your kidneys with an ultrasound before surgery can help predict if you might develop kidney injury after your coronary bypass surgery. It's a way to see if your kidneys are more at risk so doctors can watch you more closely.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
This study is testing a combination of methods, including a bedside ultrasound of your kidneys, to help diagnose acute kidney injury that happens as a complication of sepsis. The goal is to find out if this approach can detect kidney problems early so doctors can treat them sooner.
