Belly infection and kidney health ultrasound study
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at your belly organs and kidney blood flow in people with serious belly infections and sepsis. It may help doctors understand how infection affects the kidneys.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are diagnosed with an infection in your belly area (like appendicitis, diverticulitis, or an infected gallbladder).

- You do NOT have an open wound in your chest or belly.
- You do NOT have advanced cancer (a tumor that has spread to other parts of the body).

This study uses ultrasound (sound waves) to measure the space inside your belly. It helps doctors see how an infection is affecting your abdomen. You may be able to join if you are in the ICU with a belly infection and have had a recent CT scan.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and other signs in your body affect liver and kidney damage in people with sepsis. It also compares findings to healthy volunteers to see what is different.
This study looks at how severe infections like sepsis can hurt the kidneys. By using special scans (PET-CT), researchers hope to better understand why this happens, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how a measurement from a bedside heart ultrasound changes while treating people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand how to monitor response to treatment using a quick ultrasound test.
This trial studies whether doing an ultrasound scan after a child’s first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) is useful. The goal is to see which children might need further attention based on the scan.
This study tests a new way to diagnose kidney problems in people with sepsis using a special bedside ultrasound. The goal is to catch early signs of kidney damage so treatment can start sooner.
