Kidney ultrasound for ICU patients on dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You need continuous dialysis for sudden kidney failure.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4 or 5).
- You have not had a kidney transplant, are not on a heart pump, and do not have certain kidney conditions or injuries.

This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
This study is testing a combination of methods, including a bedside ultrasound of your kidneys, to help diagnose acute kidney injury that happens as a complication of sepsis. The goal is to find out if this approach can detect kidney problems early so doctors can treat them sooner.
This study looks at acute kidney injury in patients who are very sick in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors better understand and manage kidney problems in these patients.
This study tests whether a simple scoring tool can help doctors predict which ICU patients may develop kidney problems. It may help identify patients at risk early so they can receive closer monitoring.
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 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.
