This study tests a new way to predict early kidney problems in newborns staying in the NICU. It looks at babies’ health information to see if the STARZ score helps doctors find kidney injury sooner.
This study checks whether a specific kidney test (a renogram scan) can detect a significant urine blockage early in babies born with ureter-pelvic junction obstruction (a narrow connection between the kidney and ureter). It may help clinicians decide sooner which babies need closer follow-up or treatment.
This study looks at patterns of congenital kidney and urinary tract problems (CAKUT) in children. It uses ultrasound results from kids admitted to the pediatric department to understand these birth defects better.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to create detailed images of blood flow in the kidneys of children with congenital kidney and urinary tract conditions. It aims to improve how doctors assess blockages without needing radiation.
This study measures how quickly creatinine leaves the body in urine during the first days of life. It may help doctors understand normal kidney function in healthy full-term newborns.
This study looks at how common acute kidney injury is in newborns in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors understand which babies are at risk and how to prevent kidney problems.
