ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new ultrasound test called the venous excess ultrasound score, which doctors hope can help predict whether women with severe preeclampsia—a serious pregnancy condition—might develop acute kidney injury, a sudden loss of kidney function. The goal is to see if this ultrasound score can accurately identify those at risk when they first arrive at the hospital.

Women who have severe preeclampsia may be eligible to participate, as long as they do not have existing kidney problems, have not had a kidney transplant, and can undergo the ultrasound test properly. If you join the trial, you would have this special ultrasound done at hospital admission to help doctors assess your kidney health. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to improve care by finding better ways to spot kidney issues early in women with severe preeclampsia.
