#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?

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.
