New Light-Based scan could speed up kidney disease diagnosis

NCT ID NCT05728216

First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests a new imaging technique called dynamic full-field optical coherence tomography (OCT) to analyze kidney biopsies. The goal is to see if this method can identify signs of acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease as well as or better than standard microscope analysis. The study will enroll 50 adults who need a kidney biopsy as part of their routine care. If successful, this approach could lead to faster and more detailed diagnoses.
