No ureteral stent change for urinary infections
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether leaving a ureteral stent in place during a urinary tract infection is safe. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures for patients with an indwelling ureteral catheter who develop a urinary infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You currently have a ureteral stent (a tube that helps drain urine from the kidney to the bladder)
- You are diagnosed with or likely have a urinary tract infection
- You do not have a history of a surgery that creates a new channel for urine (called an ileal conduit)
- You have not had more than one urinary tract infection while enrolled in this study
- You agree to participate and do not object

This study looks at urinary tract infections that can happen after a stent is removed. It will compare approaches around stent removal to see how to lower the chance of infection afterward.
This study looks at whether bacteria grow on the temporary tube placed in your ureter (the tube that carries urine from your kidney to your bladder) during treatment. It aims to understand what problems this might cause and how it affects your recovery.
This trial tests if a special infection control program can reduce infections in patients with urinary catheters in the hospital. It may help prevent catheter-related infections during your stay.
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
This trial studies whether some people can avoid getting a ureteral stent after ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for a kidney stone. It may help reduce stent-related discomfort while still keeping outcomes safe for the stone problem.
This study tests whether replacing a urinary catheter early during a catheter-related infection leads to better outcomes than keeping it in place. It may help people who have had a catheter for at least two weeks and develop a urinary tract infection.
