Ultrasound of kidney arteries in ICU patients with kidney injury
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound test to check the blood flow to your kidneys soon after you enter the ICU. It aims to see if this test can help doctors better understand and treat acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have just been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) within the past 24 hours.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have long-term kidney disease (especially with very low kidney function).
- You are not on dialysis and have not had a kidney transplant.
- You do not have known narrowing of the kidney arteries or other kidney conditions.

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 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.
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 looks at whether measuring blood flow in your kidneys with an ultrasound before surgery can help predict if you might develop kidney injury after your coronary bypass surgery. It's a way to see if your kidneys are more at risk so doctors can watch you more closely.
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.
This study is testing a combination of methods, including a bedside ultrasound of your kidneys, to help diagnose acute kidney injury that happens as a complication of sepsis. The goal is to find out if this approach can detect kidney problems early so doctors can treat them sooner.
