Ultrasound to predict kidney injury after trauma
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with contrast agent can help predict if you might develop acute kidney injury after a serious trauma. It focuses on patients in the ICU who have had a major injury and received blood products.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You were admitted to the ICU within the last 24 hours after a serious injury (like a car crash, fall, or other trauma).
- You received blood products (like a blood transfusion) during your initial emergency care.
- You had a high lactate level in your blood (a sign that your body isn't getting enough oxygen to its tissues).
- You do not have advanced kidney disease (stage 4 or 5) or kidney failure.
- You are not pregnant and have no known allergy to the ultrasound contrast agent used in the study.

This trial uses special ultrasound techniques to predict how well your remaining kidney will work after surgery to remove part or all of one kidney. It may help doctors understand your recovery and tailor follow-up care.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
This trial uses special ultrasound (Doppler) to look at blood flow in the kidneys and liver after a serious injury. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand and treat trauma patients.
This trial uses contrast-enhanced ultrasound to look for early signs of acute kidney injury in intensive care patients. The goal is to see if this imaging test can help diagnose kidney problems sooner, which could lead to faster treatment.
This study tests if using a special ultrasound (Doppler) to check blood flow in the kidneys can help predict and manage sudden kidney damage in patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a safer way to monitor kidney health without invasive tests.
This study uses a simple ultrasound test (kidney artery scan) to see if it can predict kidney problems early in people who are very ill. It may help doctors protect your kidneys during your hospital stay.
