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 looks at people with chronic heart failure with weaker pumping function and checks how well a lung/heart ultrasound can assess congestion (fluid buildup). If you qualify, you may help test a better way to evaluate your condition during a planned hospital visit.
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 study uses a special ultrasound test to see if it can help monitor liver cirrhosis and high blood pressure in the liver without more invasive procedures. Participation may help doctors find better ways to track your condition.
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.
