Core Tip	In evaluating acute kidney injury in cirrhotic patients, point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) plays a pivotal role. This non-invasive diagnostic tool, when thoughtfully integrated, enhances sensitivity of physical examination, facilitates nuanced fluid management, and fine-tunes bedside hemodynamic evaluation. In the delicate interplay of liver, heart, and kidneys, POCUS emerges as an indispensable ally, refining assessments and steering towards optimal patient outcomes.
