POCUS in Nephrology

Ultrasound is used in Nephrology for both diagnostic and procedural applications and can be especially helpful in emergency situations. With the introduction of POCUS, the equipment is smaller, less complex and more affordable, so ultrasound has become more accessible for everyday use. While POCUS doesn’t replace detailed exams by cardiologists and radiologists, it does offer daily opportunities to enhance the physical exam, facilitate a more timely diagnosis and expedite management by answering specific clinical questions and potentially reduce further diagnostic referrals.

COMMON USES OF POCUS IN NEPHROLOGY: 

Procedural

  • Guiding percutaneous procedures
  • Hemodialysis catheter insertion
  • Renal biopsy

Diagnostic

  • Evaluate renal structure
  • Renal vasculature and perfusion
  • Renal artery stenosis
  • Measures of blood velocities and resistance
  • Assessment of chronic kidney disease
  • Visualize IVC
  • Venous Congestion (VExUS)
  • Cardiac assessment
  • Cardiorenal Syndrome
