Study of a dye to check ureters during surgery in people with kidney problems
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a blue dye (Bludigo) to help doctors see if the ureters are open during surgery. It is for people with normal or reduced kidney function who need a procedure where the ureters are checked.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You are scheduled for a surgery where the doctor needs to look at your ureters with a scope.
- Your kidney function is normal or has mild to severe impairment (but not end-stage).
- If your kidneys are impaired, the condition must be stable (no sudden worsening in the last 2 months).
- You are not allergic to Bludigo or other blue/contrast dyes.
- You have two working kidneys and are not expected to need dialysis soon.

This trial tests a blue dye (Indigotindisulfonate Sodium) given during surgery to help doctors see if the tube from your kidney to bladder (ureter) is open. It's for people who are already having a surgery where that check is needed.
This study tests a dye that helps surgeons see if the ureters are open during urological or gynecological surgery. It may lower the risk of accidentally injuring the ureters.
This trial tests an injection called IS-001 during robotic-assisted colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons see the ureters more clearly, which could reduce the risk of injury.
This trial tests a dye called Nizaracianine Triflutate that helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) during surgery. It aims to make surgery safer by reducing the risk of accidentally injuring the ureters.
This trial studies whether a device called Dye-Vert Plus can lower the risk of kidney injury from contrast dye during heart catheter procedures (CAG and/or PCI). It focuses on people at higher kidney risk, especially those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
This study tests whether a blue dye called methylene blue can help surgeons identify the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters) during colorectal surgery. This may help avoid accidental injury to the ureters during the operation.
