All nephrologists should be learning #POCUS now. It is safe, reproducible, cheap!!! Some uses are:
1. Rule out obstruction
2. Dx cause of hemodynamic inestability
3. To guide vascular access

Beyon the basic applications in #AKI
1. Assessment of kidney perfussion
2. Detection of early AKI
3. Prediction ofpersistent AKI
4. Detect kidney congestion
2D US is ok, but using other modalities like doppler we can get more granular data on kidney hemodynamics.

However using only color doppler or power doppler is not good enough. #KidneyWk

Finerenone reduces decline of GFR and key secondary outcomes. Hyperkalemia was not really an issue #Kidneywk
Very safe drug in a trial context. Less hyperK than with spironolactone #kidneywk
