Measuring kidney function with CT in people with low GFR
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses a special CT scan (CT urography) to measure kidney function in people whose kidneys are already working below normal (GFR < 60). The goal is to see if this scan is a good alternative to blood tests for tracking kidney health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are scheduled for a contrast CT scan of your abdomen at Henri Mondor Hospital
- Your kidney function (GFR) is below 60 mL/min/1.73m²
- You have French national health insurance
- You do not have a hip implant that might interfere with the scan

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways of measuring kidney function (using a blood test with a special dye versus a standard calculation). It aims to see which method is more practical and accurate for people with advanced kidney disease, including those on dialysis. This could help doctors better tailor treatments.
This trial compares two different substances, mannitol and iohexol, to see which one better measures how well your kidneys are filtering waste. It is for patients in intensive care with sudden or ongoing kidney problems, as well as stable chronic kidney disease patients seen in outpatient clinics.
This research study tests a special fluorescent marker (a glowing dye) to help doctors better assess how well your kidneys are working. You would be hospitalized in an intensive care unit, and the study helps evaluate a new way to monitor kidney function in critically ill patients.
This study tests if a simple blood test (cystatin) can detect kidney damage earlier in people with chronic kidney disease who receive contrast dye for imaging. It could help doctors act faster to protect kidneys.
This study compares giving fluids through a vein versus drinking fluids to lower the risk of sudden kidney injury after a CT scan with contrast dye. It focuses on adults with very poor kidney function who are scheduled for an elective CT scan.
This study compares two types of CT scans—using IV contrast dye versus not using dye—in people who need an emergency abdominal scan but have reduced kidney function. It aims to see which approach is safer and works well enough to help doctors find the cause.
