Renal Ultrasonography in Critical Care

Renal ultrasonography is a specialized imaging technique used in critical care to examine the kidneys. It employs sound waves to create pictures of the kidneys and surrounding structures, helping doctors assess their size, shape, and any abnormalities. In critical care nephrology, this non-invasive test is crucial for diagnosing conditions like kidney injury or obstruction, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring patients’ kidney health. It provides valuable information without the need for more invasive procedures, making it essential for managing critically ill patients with kidney issues.
