摘　　要：Point-of-care ultrasound(POCUS)is a limited ultrasound examination performed by the clinician at the bedside,emerging as a complement to physical examination across various medical specialties.In the field of nephrology,its integration has been gradual,primarily limited to guiding procedures like temporary dialysis catheter placement or,in some cases,diagnostic kidney ultrasounds.In reality,the assessment of hemodynamic status at the bedside holds immense value for nephrologists,yet there exists limited awareness among practitioners regarding its implementation.While there is a growing trend towards incorporating multiorgan POCUS training in fellowship programs,private practice nephrologists remain relatively uninformed.This discussion explores the untapped potential of POCUS as a valuable diagnostic tool in everyday nephrology practice,demonstrating its effectiveness in diverse clinical settings,ranging from medical wards to outpatient dialysis units.Additionally,we delve into the challenges hindering its widespread adoption and consider the future trajectory of this innovative approach.
