Ultrasound treatments could be used to prevent a common kidney complication than can arise after major surgery, researchers suggest.

The work, published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, was carried out on mice.

But the researchers said there could be a "rapid translation" to human studies because the treatment for acute kidney injury (AKI) was simple and routine.

Gosh! - that does sound promising.

Mind you, this is the first I knew of it happening !
