Blue dye test for ureter patency in children
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a blue dye (Indigotindisulfonate Sodium) given during surgery to help doctors see if the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) are open. It's for children having urological or gynecological procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be from birth up to 17 years old.
- Your child must be scheduled for a urological or gynecological surgery where the doctor needs to check the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder).
- Your child must weigh at least 5 kilograms (about 11 pounds).
- Your child cannot have severe kidney disease or very high creatinine levels.
- Your child cannot have a history of severe allergic reactions to certain dyes, cancer of the reproductive or urinary system, or certain heart conditions.

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 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.
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 study checks whether a specific kidney test (a renogram scan) can detect a significant urine blockage early in babies born with ureter-pelvic junction obstruction (a narrow connection between the kidney and ureter). It may help clinicians decide sooner which babies need closer follow-up or treatment.
This study tests if using a special blue dye (methylene blue) during surgery to correct stress urinary incontinence helps doctors find and prevent complications. It compares two surgical methods (TVT and TOT) to see which is safer.
