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 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.
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 looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
