Core Tip

Core Tip: The integration of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into nephrology practice offers significant potential to streamline diagnosis and enhance patient care. Despite some barriers to implementation, such as time constraints and initial costs, the benefits of POCUS in improving diagnostic accuracy and practical outcomes are substantial. By leveraging available resources and gradually incorporating POCUS into practice, nephrologists can overcome these barriers and harness the full potential of this valuable diagnostic tool.
