Ultrasound Localization Microscopy in Patient With Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT)

RECRUITING

NCT06921733

Sponsor: University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Medical School

Summary

This clinical study aims to non-invasively visualize perfusion and microvascularization, as well as individual glomeruli, using Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) and CEUS in patients with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT).
