Ultrasound Imaging to Monitor Kidney Transplant Function
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to monitor blood flow in transplanted kidneys and predict whether they will work well after surgery. Researchers will use special ultrasound imaging to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidney to help doctors understand why some transplants struggle in the first weeks after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks if pumping a special fluid through donor kidneys (machine perfusion) helps predict how well the kidney will work after transplant. It's for people getting a kidney from an older donor or one with some health issues.
This study is testing two new types of scans that use sound and light waves to check the health of your transplanted kidney without needing a needle biopsy. If you are already scheduled for a biopsy, the researchers want to see if these scans can give the same information in a less invasive way.
This study uses ultrasound of donor kidneys to predict the risk of kidney problems after transplant. It may help doctors better understand transplant outcomes.
This study looks at how well a simple ultrasound test (checking the size of a large vein near your liver) can guide fluid management after a kidney transplant. It may help doctors give you the right amount of fluids to keep your new kidney healthy.
This trial uses special ultrasound techniques to predict how well your remaining kidney will work after surgery to remove part or all of one kidney. It may help doctors understand your recovery and tailor follow-up care.
This Phase 2 study tests an ultrasound imaging method to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidneys. It may help doctors better understand chronic kidney disease, especially when a kidney biopsy is already planned for medical reasons.
