Overview
Brief 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.
Detailed 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 Criteria
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
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To determine if ultrasound imaging can accurately help physicians determine if the kidneys are being adequately perfused.
Time Frame: 1 year
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.
