New ultrasound tech could change how we see kidney failure
NCT ID NCT07484308
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new ultrasound technique called URM to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidneys of 150 people with kidney failure. The goal was to see if this method can help doctors better assess kidney function, stage the disease, and monitor treatment. The researchers compared the ultrasound images with standard lab tests to check how well the new method works.
