Ultrasound elastography for kidney swelling in pregnancy
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special ultrasound technique to evaluate kidney swelling (hydronephrosis) that causes flank pain during pregnancy. The goal is to better understand kidney changes in pregnant women and help doctors decide on treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and at least 12 weeks along
- You have pain in your side or lower back (loin pain)
- Ultrasound has already shown swelling in one or both kidneys
- You are 18 years or older
- You do not have chronic kidney disease or kidney birth defects
- You do not have preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy)

This study looks at how fetal kidney swelling (hydronephrosis) relates to pregnancy diabetes and pregnancy outcomes. If you have a single baby with or without kidney swelling and with or without pregnancy diabetes, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new ultrasound system designed specifically for pregnancy imaging. Researchers want to make sure it works well and safely captures clear images of your baby during mid-pregnancy (weeks 18–28).
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (called elastography) to measure kidney stiffness in people with glomerulonephritis, a type of kidney inflammation. The goal is to see if this measurement can help doctors evaluate the disease without needing repeated biopsies.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan that measures kidney stiffness can predict how well a child's kidney will work after surgery to fix a ureter blockage. The goal is to help doctors know which children might recover better kidney function after the procedure.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (called shear wave elastography) to predict how well shock wave therapy (ESWL) will break up kidney stones in children. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for your child's stone.
This study checks whether a special ultrasound can help tell whether kidney problems started suddenly (acute) or have been present longer (chronic). It may help doctors choose the right next steps faster in the emergency room.
