How fluid in the kidney (hydronephrosis) changes over time in infants
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study observes babies with fluid in the kidney (hydronephrosis) over 3 years to understand how the condition naturally progresses without intervention. Participation involves regular ultrasounds and check-ups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 0 and 6 months old and has been diagnosed with hydronephrosis (fluid in the kidney).
- The diagnosis must be confirmed by an ultrasound and meet specific size criteria.
- You must agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You must be able to attend regular check-ups at the study center for 3 years.
- Your baby must not have other serious birth defects, prior surgery, or certain medications for hydronephrosis.

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 looks at pregnancies where the baby has a condition called fetal hydronephrosis (extra fluid in the kidneys), which may be linked to gestational diabetes. It compares these cases to normal pregnancies to see how the condition resolves on its own or leads to problems after birth.
This study tests an AI tool that helps doctors make decisions about hydronephrosis (swelling of the kidney) using ultrasound images. It aims to improve how doctors decide who needs more tests or treatment.
This study looks at how newborn babies who had acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function) recover over the long term. By following these babies, researchers hope to learn more about kidney health in childhood and beyond.
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 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.
