Ultrasound test for kidney risk in ARDS patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung condition)
- You are receiving medicine to keep your blood pressure stable
- You have been on a breathing machine for less than 48 hours
- You do not have severe kidney disease requiring dialysis before the ultrasound
- You are not on ECMO (heart-lung bypass) and do not have certain liver or lung conditions

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.
This trial tests whether adjusting the pressure on your breathing machine in a specific way can help protect your kidneys while you're on a ventilator for ARDS. It uses ultrasound to monitor your veins and kidney function.
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.
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 tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
This study tests whether an ultrasound score (VExUS) can predict kidney injury after open-heart surgery. It may help doctors adjust care to protect your kidneys.
