Multi-Organ Point-Of-Care Ultrasound in Acute Kidney Injury
Blood PurificationAbhilash Koratala, et al.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome caused by a multitude of hemodynamic, toxic, and structural insults to the kidney, and portends worse patient outcomes. Despite careful history taking, physical examination, and analysis of laboratory data, a void is evident in the diagnostic process and clinical monitoring of AKI. Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is a limited ultrasound study performed by the clinician at bedside as an adjunct to physical examination.

Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is rapidly evolving as a noninvasive adjunct to physical examination among various specialties. POCUS increases the sensitivity of conventional physical examination by providing the answers to simple clinical questions at the bedside. As such, it can reduce fragmentation of care and expedite management. In addition, using bedside ultrasound as the first-line investigation may eliminate unnecessary radiation and contrast exposure.
