Study of Whether There is Renal Retention of Lipid Microbubble Ultrasound Contrast Agents
Flank pain has been reported with ultrasound (US) contrast agents. The purpose of this
study is to determine whether there is retention of ultrasound contrast agents in the renal
microcirculation, which has been described in mice.

In this study patients undergoing clinically indicated contrast echocardiography will have
renal ultrasound performed 10 minutes after completion of contrast infusion to determine the
presence and location of renal retention of lipid microbubbles.
