Using ultrasound to predict kidney trouble in high-risk patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have one of these conditions: severe pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, multiple serious injuries (polytrauma), or a severe infection in the ICU (sepsis).
- You do not have long-term kidney disease (chronic kidney disease).
- You were not born with any kidney abnormalities.
- You have not had a kidney transplant.

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 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 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 looks at how urine output after being in the intensive care unit (ICU) can help detect early kidney problems. It may help doctors better monitor and protect kidney function in critically ill patients.
This study looks at whether certain blood tests can help predict if a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) will develop acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function). It may help doctors detect kidney problems earlier and improve care for ICU patients.
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.
