Ultrasound vein test after kidney transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a simple ultrasound test (checking the size of a large vein near your liver) can guide fluid management after a kidney transplant. It may help doctors give you the right amount of fluids to keep your new kidney healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have end-stage kidney disease (kidney failure) and are in the hospital for a kidney transplant.
- You agree to receive extra fluids (volume expansion) after the transplant as part of your care.
- Your doctors can get clear ultrasound pictures of the large vein near your liver (inferior vena cava).
- Your doctors are able to measure the pressure in your bladder and in a central vein (central venous pressure).

This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the veins (VExUS) can help predict kidney injury in people with severe breathing problems who are on a breathing machine and receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to monitor blood flow in transplanted kidneys and predict whether they will work well after surgery. Researchers will use special ultrasound imaging to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidney to help doctors understand why some transplants struggle in the first weeks after surgery.
This trial uses ultrasound measurements of the neck blood flow and abdominal vein size to help doctors choose safer fluid treatment for people with acute kidney injury. It may help reduce complications from too little or too much fluid during recovery.
This study uses ultrasound of donor kidneys to predict the risk of kidney problems after transplant. It may help doctors better understand transplant outcomes.
This study uses ultrasound to help doctors decide how much fluid to give patients after heart surgery. It aims to improve recovery by checking if patients need more fluids.
This study uses a special ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins (called venous congestion) and see if it is linked to kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors understand how to prevent kidney problems during critical illness.
