Assessment of the Changes in Cortical and Medullary Renal Blood Flow During Exercise in Healthy Subjects Using Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound
Status unconfirmed · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Healthy, Physiology
In brief
Renal parenchymal blood flow can be divided in cortical and medullary blood flow. Changes and factors affecting renal medullary blood flow have not been studied in detail previously as investigators/doctors did not have tools to monitor renal medullary blood flow in vivo. Since Trueta first described renal medullary blood flow, multiple attempts have been made to study renal medullary blood flow using invasive methods. Recently renal medullary blood flow measurement using contrast US has emerged as a promising technique that investigators can use to study renal medullary blood flow in vivo. In this study investigators are aiming to study changes in renal parenchymal (cortical and medullary) blood flow with exercise in healthy subject.
