Ultrasound vein test after kidney transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses a simple ultrasound test to measure the size changes of the large vein in your belly (the vena cava) to help doctors manage your fluids after a kidney transplant. This may improve how they decide about giving you extra fluids and could help your new kidney work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have end-stage renal disease (kidney failure).
- You are staying in the kidney unit at Reims University Hospital for a kidney transplant.
- You are receiving extra fluids (volume expansion) after your transplant.
- You can give your consent to take part in the study.
- You are able to have a clear ultrasound picture of the large vein near your heart (the vena cava).

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 way to manage fluids in patients with acute kidney injury who are receiving a type of dialysis called continuous renal replacement therapy. The method uses ultrasound to check blood flow in the veins and kidneys to guide fluid decisions, which may help recovery.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your body handles fluids after heart surgery. It helps doctors decide if you need more or less fluids to keep you stable in the intensive care unit.
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins of patients in the intensive care unit. The results may help doctors better manage fluids and improve care for critically ill patients.
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 look at blood flow in the kidneys and other organs to find out why acute kidney injury happens. By checking this early in the ICU stay, doctors hope to improve treatment and recovery.
