Ultrasound test for kidney injury in the ICU
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are over 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of being admitted to the ICU.
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for at least 48 hours.
- A special ultrasound with contrast dye will be done within 24 hours of your kidney injury diagnosis.
- You do not have advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4 or worse) or need dialysis.
- You are not pregnant and do not have allergies to the contrast dye used in this study.

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 a new light-based method to check kidney function right after heart surgery or imaging tests that use contrast dye. It aims to catch kidney damage early, so doctors can treat it sooner.
This study uses ultrasound to look at blood flow in the kidneys and other organs to find out why acute kidney injury happens. By checking this early in the ICU stay, doctors hope to improve treatment and recovery.
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.
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 trial tests whether using a much smaller amount of contrast dye for an invasive heart scan is safer for people with acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help reduce further kidney stress while still allowing doctors to look at coronary (heart) arteries.
