Amnioinfusion for fetal kidney failure
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether adding fluid back into the womb (amnioinfusion) can help babies whose kidneys are not working and who have no amniotic fluid early in pregnancy. It may improve the baby's chances of survival and lung development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your baby has no amniotic fluid (anhydramnios) that was discovered before 22 weeks of pregnancy.
- You can have your first amnioinfusion (adding fluid back into the womb) before 29 weeks of pregnancy.
- You are willing to receive care and deliver at Medical City Dallas Hospital.
- Your cervix is at least 2.5 cm long.
- Your baby does not have a fatal genetic condition (like trisomy 13 or 18) or other major birth defects.

This Phase 1 study tests whether repeatedly adding fluid into the amniotic sac (amnioinfusion) can help babies with very severe kidney problems before birth. The goal is to see if this “regenerative therapy” is safe and potentially beneficial, while closely tracking pregnancy and baby outcomes.
This trial studies a fetal cystoscopy procedure to treat severe urinary tract blockage in a baby boy during pregnancy. It aims to see whether the procedure helps improve outcomes, but it requires specific pregnancy conditions and testing beforehand.
This study uses a sample of the fluid around your baby (amniotic fluid) to try to predict how well their kidneys will work after birth. It is for pregnancies where both kidneys have been found to have a structure problem.
This trial tests whether adding fluid into the womb (amnioinfusion) during labor can protect a baby's lungs and health after being exposed to thick meconium (baby's first poop). It may help reduce breathing problems and improve long-term outcomes.
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 trial tests whether flushing the amniotic sac (the fluid surrounding the baby) with saline solution can reduce brain injury when a mother develops a uterine infection during labor. The goal is to see if this simple treatment protects the baby's developing brain.
