Studying kidney health in very premature newborns
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well kidneys work in very premature babies (born before 32 weeks). It uses special sensors to monitor kidney health in the first few days of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born before 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Less than 72 hours old (about 3 days old)
- Currently a patient in the NICU at Meriter Hospital
- At least one parent or guardian can agree in English or Spanish

This study is testing a new wireless device that monitors oxygen levels in the brain. It is for babies already using a similar wired monitor, to see if the wireless version works just as well.
This trial uses a new ultrasound device (NeoDoppler) to watch blood flow in a baby's brain continuously. It aims to see if this gentle, bedside tool can help doctors monitor babies—especially those born early or with certain health concerns—without moving them.
This study measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
This study uses a light-based sensor placed on the skin to measure oxygen levels in infants with a single heart ventricle before their Glenn surgery. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict how well they do between surgeries.
This study tests whether giving caffeine to very premature babies can help protect their kidneys as they grow. We will use a special light monitor on the skin to check blood flow to the brain and kidneys.
This trial uses a special monitor to check oxygen levels in the brain of very premature babies. It aims to see if low oxygen affects kidney health.
