Bedside ultrasound may spot kidney trouble before standard tests
NCT ID NCT06386796
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a bedside ultrasound technique called renal resistive index can detect acute kidney injury earlier than standard methods in high-risk ICU patients. Researchers will enroll 100 adults with conditions like severe pre-eclampsia, trauma, or sepsis. They will compare ultrasound results with blood and urine tests to see if the ultrasound provides a faster, non-invasive warning.
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 provide a faster, non-invasive way to detect kidney injury early in critically ill patients, improving outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study (100 participants). The ultrasound method may not prove more accurate than existing tests, and results may not apply to all ICU patients.
