New Light-Based scan could speed up kidney disease diagnosis
NCT ID NCT05728216
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- dynamic full-field optical coherence tomography
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make kidney biopsy analysis faster and more accurate, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment decisions for kidney disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (50 participants) testing a new imaging technique. It may not prove better than standard methods, and the technology may not be widely available.
