Ultrasound tests to study kidney failure in liver pressure disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether special non-invasive ultrasound scans can help predict outcomes in people who have both liver-related high blood pressure in the veins (portal hypertension) and kidney failure. It may help doctors choose better monitoring and treatment for this specific combination of problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have portal hypertension (high blood pressure in the liver veins)
- You also have kidney failure
- You can give informed consent to join the study

This study uses a special ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins (called venous congestion) and see if it is linked to kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors understand how to prevent kidney problems during critical illness.
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 uses two types of scans (MRI and ultrasound) to check for high pressure in the veins of your liver. It may help doctors find problems earlier without invasive tests.
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.
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment on the kidney arteries to see if it can safely lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It may help avoid more invasive procedures.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to monitor blood flow in transplanted kidneys and predict whether they will work well after surgery. Researchers will use special ultrasound imaging to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidney to help doctors understand why some transplants struggle in the first weeks after surgery.
