Early kidney problem detection in newborns
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a scoring system to help doctors find kidney problems in newborns early. It may help improve care for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be in the NICU within 48 hours of birth.
- Your baby must be at least 28 weeks of pregnancy at birth.
- Your baby must weigh at least 1000 grams (about 2 pounds 3 ounces).
- Your baby needs blood or urine tests for kidney function as part of normal care.
- You must give permission for your baby to take part.

This trial studies babies under 28 days old who have acute kidney injury (when the kidneys suddenly stop working well). It aims to better understand the condition in newborns in intensive care, which may help improve care and treatment.
This study looks at how common acute kidney injury is in newborns in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors understand which babies are at risk and how to prevent kidney problems.
This study offers free urine and ultrasound screening for kidney disease in all newborn infants, with a goal to find and track potential issues early over the first 3 years of life.
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 how urine output after being in the intensive care unit (ICU) can help detect early kidney problems. It may help doctors better monitor and protect kidney function in critically ill patients.
This study tests a urine test that may help find kidney injury early in adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). The test could help doctors act sooner to protect your kidneys.
