Core Tip Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a revolutionary diagnostic tool in nephrology, providing a rapid, non-invasive bedside examination for a wide range of clinical scenarios-from assessing hemodynamics and fluid status to dialysis-related complications and guiding vascular access. Integrating POCUS into routine nephrology practice can improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce reliance on redundant imaging and streamline patient management. This editorial highlight the urgent need for standardized POCUS education and calls for its inclusion in student and residency curricula as a critical step in reshaping nephrology care.
