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.
