#203 POCUS for AKI & Dialysis | Real Cases That Changed Management

A dialysis patient with a chronic cough: is it COPD, or are they still volume overloaded?

A patient with AKI and hyperkalemia says they’re still peeing — does that rule out post-obstructive AKI?

A patient arrives in the ED with uremic symptoms and a newly created AV fistula. Can you safely use it, or do you need to place a temporary dialysis catheter?

And the classic inpatient dilemma: your heart failure patient looks better after diuresis, but the creatinine is rising. Is it time to stop, or should you keep going?

02:19 | Detecting post-renal obstruction in a patient who reported normal urination

11:26 | POCUS for discharge or continue diurese

17:25 | Distinguishing COPD from volume overload in a dialysis patient using lung ultrasound

23:55 | Assessing AV fistula maturity at the bedside to potentially avoid placing a temporary dialysis line


Along the way, we discuss practical ways clinicians can use renal, lung, and venous ultrasound to clarify uncertain clinical situations and make faster decisions at the bedside.


If you’ve ever paused on rounds, wondering “what should we do next?” in a patient with kidney disease, this episode explores how POCUS can help answer that question.
