PET/CT scan for tracking kidney scarring
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan to look at kidney scarring (fibrosis) in people with chronic kidney disease. It could help doctors monitor kidney damage without needing a biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic kidney disease.
- You had a kidney biopsy within the last 2 weeks.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This early (Phase 1) study compares two types of PET-CT scans to see how well they detect and measure lung scarring (pulmonary fibrosis). It may help doctors choose the best scan test for diagnosis in the future.
This trial tests a new PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer to find clear cell kidney cancer. If you are scheduled for kidney tumor removal, this scan may help your surgeon see the cancer more clearly before surgery.
This trial tests a special PET scan that may help doctors predict how well your remaining kidney will work after part of it is removed. It could help guide surgery decisions and improve long-term outcomes.
This trial uses two types of PET scans to better target radiation therapy in patients with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has spread or returned. The goal is to combine radiation with standard drug treatments to improve outcomes.
This trial tests a special PET scan that may help doctors see if a complex kidney cyst is cancerous before surgery. It is for people who are already scheduled to have surgery to remove a kidney mass.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look for scarring in the kidneys. The goal is to see if the scan can detect kidney fibrosis better than current methods.
