Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1For Cause
For cause biopsy to evaluate a recent rise in serum creatinine.~Optison~Ultrasound (US): A routine diagnostic and color-Doppler US. A Doppler ultrasound is a noninvasive test that can be used to estimate the blood flow through your blood vessels by bouncing high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) off circulating red blood cells. A regular ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images, but can't show blood flow.~Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS): Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is the application of ultrasound contrast medium to traditional medical sonography. Ultrasound contrast agents rely on the different ways in which sound waves are reflected from interfaces between substances. This may be the surface of a small air bubble or a more complex structure.
