U.S., April 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07547891) titled 'Renal Cortical Stiffness Measured by Shear Wave Elastography for Evaluation of Hydronephrosis in Pregnancy' on April 17.
Brief Summary: Hydronephrosis is common during pregnancy and is often physiological; however, it may also result from true obstruction requiring intervention. Differentiating between physiological and obstructive hydronephrosis remains a clinical challenge using conventional ultrasound.
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of renal cortical stiffness measured by shear wave elastography (SWE) in differentiating obstructive from physiological hydronephrosis in pregnant wome...
