WCN25-2282 POINT OF CARE ULTRASOUND IN ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY: SINGLE CENTRE STUDY
Acute kidney injury is a common and serious condition associated with high mortality, and timely radiological assessment is crucial for effective management. Waiting for a radiologist's opinion can delay the initiation of treatment. To address this, nephrologists are increasingly using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for initial bedside evaluations, which allows for faster treatment decisions. The aim of this study is to use point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to examine kidney echogenicity, size, and bladder outlet, check volume status through IVC and lung ultrasound and compare the volume status clinically.
