Understanding ureteral stricture through body samples
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study aims to learn more about ureteral stricture by analyzing samples like stool, urine, and blood from patients and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find new ways to diagnose or treat this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing a new ultrasound measurement called the Urethral Resistive Index (URI) to see if it can accurately diagnose urethral stricture (a narrowing in the tube that carries urine out of the body). The goal is to find a less invasive way to diagnose blockages without needing a scope.
This trial is studying how the way we handle human samples affects the quality of microbiota (gut bacteria) analysis. It's looking for healthy volunteers to donate samples so researchers can improve lab methods.
This study looks at a surgical procedure (urethroplasty) for a condition where the urethra becomes narrowed (urethral stricture). If you join, you will be asked to consent to take part and follow the study rules.
This study collects information from patients who have had surgery for a urethral stricture, which is a narrowing in the tube that carries urine out of the body. Being part of this study helps doctors learn more about different surgical treatments and their outcomes.
This study looks at how bacteria and the immune system affect the lower urinary tract. It includes healthy volunteers and people with various urinary conditions, like infections or bladder pain.
This study builds a patient registry for prostate, kidney, bladder, and ureter cancers by analyzing your body’s microbiome (the microbes living in/ on the body). It may help doctors personalize care in the future, and your participation mainly involves allowing your medical and related information to be used for research.
