Observing hydronephrosis in infants (0-6 months)
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study follows babies with hydronephrosis (widening of the kidney's drainage area) to see how the condition changes naturally over 3 years. No treatment is given, only regular ultrasound check-ups to learn and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby must be between 0 and 6 months old.
- Baby must have hydronephrosis (a widening of the kidney's drainage area) confirmed by ultrasound.
- No other major birth defects that might affect health.
- No prior surgery or long-term medications for the hydronephrosis.
- Family must agree to regular hospital visits for 3 years.

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 tests a new computer program designed to help doctors make better decisions about treating hydronephrosis (swelling in a baby's kidney) by analyzing ultrasound pictures. The goal is to improve how doctors decide which babies need surgery and which can be monitored safely.
This study looks back at children who were diagnosed with widened or enlarged parts of the urinary tract before or after birth. It aims to understand their long-term health and follow-up. If your child had this condition and had at least two ultrasound check-ups after birth, they may be included.
This study looks at how fetal kidney swelling (hydronephrosis) relates to pregnancy diabetes and pregnancy outcomes. If you have a single baby with or without kidney swelling and with or without pregnancy diabetes, you may be able to join.
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 follows pregnant women and their babies who have been diagnosed with a widening of the urinary tract before birth. It aims to learn how these changes progress during pregnancy and after birth, and to ensure proper follow-up care for the baby.
