Ultrasound patterns in kidney and liver after trauma
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses special ultrasound (Doppler) to look at blood flow in the kidneys and liver after a serious injury. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand and treat trauma patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You were admitted to the hospital within 24 hours of an injury.
- Your injury severity score (ISS) is greater than 15, meaning you have severe injuries.
- You do not have known heart failure, chronic kidney disease, or chronic lung disease needing oxygen or a ventilator at home.
- A CT scan of your kidneys does not show damage that would make the ultrasound hard to read.

This study compares two ultrasound methods (checking the vein in your neck versus the large vein in your abdomen) to see which better predicts whether you need fluids after a traumatic injury. It aims to help doctors give the right amount of fluids quickly.
This trial is for adults who have had a CT-confirmed injury to the spleen, liver, and/or kidney from blunt or penetrating trauma. The goal is to study this type of injury and compare how patients do after treatment.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with contrast agent can help predict if you might develop acute kidney injury after a serious trauma. It focuses on patients in the ICU who have had a major injury and received blood products.
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 trial looks at how well a “kidney ultrasound index” (a measurement from an ultrasound and health factors) can reflect kidney health. It may help researchers better understand which people are most likely to stay healthy and who may be at risk.
This study uses an ultrasound test to check the blood flow to your kidneys soon after you enter the ICU. It aims to see if this test can help doctors better understand and treat acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.
