New ultrasound test may predict kidney healing in kids after surgery
NCT ID NCT07624019
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a special ultrasound technique, called shear wave elastography, can predict how well a child's kidney will recover after surgery to fix a blockage. Researchers will measure kidney stiffness before and after surgery in 84 children aged 6 months to 18 years. They will compare these measurements with standard kidney scans to see if the ultrasound can forecast recovery at 6 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a non-invasive way to predict which children will recover kidney function after surgery, potentially guiding follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The ultrasound method may not accurately predict recovery, and results may not apply to all children.
