Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of renal ultrasound to check kidney perfusion in premature and/or very low birth weight babies.

Description:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D (3 dimensional)renal ultrasound to check kidney perfusion (to see if the kidney is receiving enough blood flow to function as it should) in premature and/or very low birth weight babies.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Very low birth weight babies in ICU in stable condition and/or premature babies in ICU in stable condition

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unstable very low birth weight/premature babies

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Kidney Perfusion

Intervention

Procedure:
• 3D Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound scanning with power Doppler is used to determine the fractional blood volume of the kidneys in pre-mature and/or very low birth weight babies. This is a measure of perfusion and an indication of how well the kidneys are working.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	To determine if ultrasound imaging can accurately help physicians determine if the kidneys are being adequately perfused.	Fractional blood volume was determined as a way to measure kidney perfusion. Adequate perfusion indicates that the kidneys are working and might indicate if a baby was responding to a specific treatment or not.	1 year
