Ultrasound to predict kidney function after kidney removal
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older and willing to join the study.
- Your kidney function must be above a certain level before surgery (eGFR > 45).
- You cannot have severe kidney problems in the other kidney, such as an eGFR below 15 or being on dialysis.
- You cannot have cancer that has spread to lymph nodes, other organs, or major blood vessels.
- You must not have allergies to the ultrasound contrast dye or certain heart conditions that make the test unsafe.
- You cannot have other unstable medical problems like uncontrolled bleeding or very low blood pressure.

This trial uses a special computer model to predict how well your kidneys will work after surgery to remove part of a kidney (partial nephrectomy). It may help doctors plan better care for people with early-stage kidney tumors.
This trial tests if a 3D kidney model made with artificial intelligence helps surgeons remove a kidney tumor (partial nephrectomy) more precisely. It may help preserve healthy kidney tissue while treating the cancer.
This study looks at new markers in blood or urine to help predict kidney injury after surgery to remove a kidney. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your remaining kidney after surgery.
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 tests a new way to manage fluids in patients with acute kidney injury who are receiving a type of dialysis called continuous renal replacement therapy. The method uses ultrasound to check blood flow in the veins and kidneys to guide fluid decisions, which may help recovery.
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan using a new tracer to measure kidney function and predict how much kidney function will remain after surgery to remove part of a kidney. It may help doctors better plan surgery and manage your care.
