How anesthesia affects kidney function during children's MRI scans
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how anesthesia affects kidney function in children during an MRI. Your child's kidney function will be checked before and after the scan to help doctors understand how these medicines work in young patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 14 years old.
- Your child must be having an MRI scan that requires anesthesia.
- Your child must be in good health overall, with no serious heart, lung, or kidney conditions.
- Your child must not be allergic to the anesthetics propofol or sevoflurane.
- Your child must not have any medical reason that makes an MRI unsafe (like certain metal implants).

This study looks at how well the brain uses oxygen during MRI with anesthesia. It tests two different anesthesia medicines to find the best way to keep children safe and comfortable during scans.
This trial tests a liquid sedation medicine (called dexmedetomidine) that your child drinks before an MRI. The goal is to see if it works as well as general anesthesia to keep children still during the scan, with fewer side effects.
This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see how they affect certain molecules in the blood of people donating a kidney. It aims to find out if one is safer or better for donors.
This study tests whether adding caffeine to the usual sedation medicine helps children recover faster after an MRI. It looks at how quickly kids wake up and can go home.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general gas anesthesia vs. a spinal-plus-epidural method) during living-donor kidney transplants to see how they affect certain body signals related to cell health and aging. If you are having a kidney transplant from a living donor and are in good overall health, this trial could help doctors learn which anesthesia may be better for you.
