Using renal artery duplex ultrasound to check kidney blood flow in ICU patients with acute kidney injury

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study enrolls adults within 24 hours of ICU admission and uses renal artery duplex Doppler to measure the renal resistive index (RRI). Patients with poor abdominal windows, advanced chronic kidney disease, dialysis dependence, renal transplant, renal artery stenosis, pregnancy, or congenital renal anomalies are excluded. RRI measurements will be compared with routine creatinine-based AKI markers and clinical course to see if intrarenal flow resistance signals kidney dysfunction earlier. The intent is to determine whether RRI could be incorporated into bedside organ-function assessment in critically ill patients.
