Ultrasound imaging of kidney blood vessels in kidney disease
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests an ultrasound imaging method to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidneys. It may help doctors better understand chronic kidney disease, especially when a kidney biopsy is already planned for medical reasons.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be healthy or have chronic kidney disease and have a kidney biopsy planned or clinically indicated
- You must be able to understand the study and give informed consent (or have appropriate capacity to consent)
- You cannot be a prisoner, pregnant, or breastfeeding
- You must not have had a serious allergic reaction to ultrasound contrast dye before
- You must not have a dangerous or high-risk heart condition

This study tests a new, advanced ultrasound method for imaging blood vessels. It is looking for healthy volunteers with no history of kidney or brain disease to help researchers see if the ultrasound can give clearer pictures of the vascular system.
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.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidneys of people with active urinary sediment or protein in their urine. The goal is to better understand kidney damage, and you may be eligible if you're already scheduled for a kidney biopsy.
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
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 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.
