Kidney blood vessel imaging in people with active urine findings
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidneys of people with active urinary sediment or protein in their urine. The goal is to better understand kidney damage, and you may be eligible if you're already scheduled for a kidney biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have active urinary sediment (like blood or clumps in your urine) or high protein in your urine (more than 1 gram per gram of creatinine).
- Your doctor has planned a kidney biopsy as part of your routine care.
- You are not allergic to SonoVue (a contrast agent used in ultrasound).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests whether a special ultrasound technique can detect early kidney damage in children and teens with acute lymphatic leukemia, before standard tests show any problems.
This study is testing two new types of scans that use sound and light waves to check the health of your transplanted kidney without needing a needle biopsy. If you are already scheduled for a biopsy, the researchers want to see if these scans can give the same information in a less invasive way.
This Phase 2 study tests an ultrasound imaging method to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidneys. It may help doctors better understand chronic kidney disease, especially when a kidney biopsy is already planned for medical reasons.
This study tests a new, advanced ultrasound method for imaging blood vessels. It is looking for healthy volunteers with no history of kidney or brain disease to help researchers see if the ultrasound can give clearer pictures of the vascular system.
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
This study tests if using a special ultrasound (Doppler) to check blood flow in the kidneys can help predict and manage sudden kidney damage in patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a safer way to monitor kidney health without invasive tests.
