Combined kidney ultrasound for sepsis-related kidney injury
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is testing a combination of methods, including a bedside ultrasound of your kidneys, to help diagnose acute kidney injury that happens as a complication of sepsis. The goal is to find out if this approach can detect kidney problems early so doctors can treat them sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have sepsis (a severe infection that affects your whole body).
- Your doctor must be able to perform a bedside kidney ultrasound (called RRI).
- You cannot have end-stage kidney disease (on chronic dialysis) or very low kidney function (eGFR below 15).
- You cannot have had a kidney transplant.
- You cannot be pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
This study uses a simple ultrasound test (kidney artery scan) to see if it can predict kidney problems early in people who are very ill. It may help doctors protect your kidneys during your hospital stay.
This study tests whether two substances in urine (TIMP2 and IGFBP7) can help doctors predict which patients with sepsis-related kidney problems will get worse. If these markers work, doctors could identify high-risk patients earlier and treat them more aggressively.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
This study looks at substances related to inflammation to better understand sudden kidney problems in people who are very sick in the ICU. It may help improve how kidney injury is predicted and treated after severe illness or major events.
This trial looks at acute kidney injury that can happen during sepsis (a serious body-wide infection or suspected infection). It may help improve how doctors detect and manage kidney problems early, especially in intensive care or around major surgery.
