New ultrasound method for septic kidney injury
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to diagnose kidney problems in people with sepsis using a special bedside ultrasound. The goal is to catch early signs of kidney damage so treatment can start sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a severe infection called sepsis that affects your whole body
- You are 18 years or older
- A special kidney ultrasound (RRI) can be done at your bedside
- You are not on dialysis and your kidney function is not very low
- You have not had a kidney transplant
- You are not 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 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 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 measures a protein called uromodulin in the blood of patients with sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) to see if it can help predict outcomes. It aims to find a better way to assess kidney damage early.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) combined with a standard pressure measurement (CVP) can better predict outcomes for people with sepsis in the ICU. The goal is to see if these tools help doctors make better treatment decisions.
This trial studies whether a “remote preconditioning” treatment given during early sepsis can help protect the kidneys and improve outcomes. It is for adults in the ICU very soon after sepsis begins.
