Core Tip Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) holds transformative potential in nephrology by enhancing diagnostic accuracy and guiding the management of complex hemodynamic derangements, which often overlap with conditions that nephrologists are consulted for, such as acute kidney injury, renal replacement therapy, and electrolyte disorders. Unlike traditional imaging, POCUS provides real-time, bedside insights that enhance clinical decision-making. However, widespread adoption requires structured training, competency validation, and collaboration with other specialties. Overcoming these barriers will help integrate POCUS into routine nephrology practice, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
