Ultrasound test to detect kidney injury in ICU patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses contrast-enhanced ultrasound to look for early signs of acute kidney injury in intensive care patients. The goal is to see if this imaging test can help diagnose kidney problems sooner, which could lead to faster treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have just been admitted to the ICU (within the last 24 hours) and are expected to stay at least 2 days
- You have risk factors for acute kidney injury (as defined by your doctor)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have severe chronic kidney disease or need dialysis
- You do not have a kidney transplant, kidney cancer, or blocked kidney blood vessels

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 tests if using a special ultrasound (Doppler) to check blood flow in the kidneys can help predict and manage sudden kidney damage in patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a safer way to monitor kidney health without invasive tests.
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 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 trial uses ultrasound measurements of the neck blood flow and abdominal vein size to help doctors choose safer fluid treatment for people with acute kidney injury. It may help reduce complications from too little or too much fluid during recovery.
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.
