Ultrasound study for children with kidney and urinary birth defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to create detailed images of blood flow in the kidneys of children with congenital kidney and urinary tract conditions. It aims to improve how doctors assess blockages without needing radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 6 years old.
- Your child has a congenital anomaly (birth defect) of the kidney or urinary tract.
- Your child has a blockage (obstruction) that needs to be checked.
- Your child needs a special kidney scan called MAG3 scintigraphy.
- A qualified ultrasound expert is available to perform the test.
- You and your partner (or legal guardian) agree to the study.

This study checks whether a specific kidney test (a renogram scan) can detect a significant urine blockage early in babies born with ureter-pelvic junction obstruction (a narrow connection between the kidney and ureter). It may help clinicians decide sooner which babies need closer follow-up or treatment.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan that measures kidney stiffness can predict how well a child's kidney will work after surgery to fix a ureter blockage. The goal is to help doctors know which children might recover better kidney function after the procedure.
This study looks at how well a certain treatment works for children with a blockage in one kidney (unilateral UPJO). It may help your child avoid more serious kidney problems.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound technique can detect early kidney damage in children and teens with acute lymphatic leukemia, before standard tests show any problems.
This study compares two types of imaging tests—a special ultrasound and a nuclear medicine scan—to see which is better at finding reflux (backward flow of urine) in young children who have had repeated UTIs. The goal is to find a safer, more accurate way to diagnose the condition.
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.
