Summary

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound technique, called shear wave elastography, can safely tell the difference between normal kidney swelling during pregnancy and swelling caused by a blockage that needs treatment. Researchers will measure kidney stiffness in 250 pregnant women with kidney swelling. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to improve diagnosis and avoid unnecessary procedures.
