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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To determine if ultrasound imaging can accurately help physicians determine if the kidneys are being adequately perfused.	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.
