Clinical Ultrasound in Nephrology

Interest in training for diagnostic and interventional ultrasound is rapidly growing in Nephrology and Internal Medicine. Many residents and young specialists are eager to learn point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), gain hands-on experience with procedures such as percutaneous renal biopsy, or develop skills in vascular access management, which are often assigned to other professionals. Offering training in these subspecialties can effectively foster interest in Nephrology and help revitalize this increasingly overlooked field. This book, authored by a nephrologist with extensive expertise in diagnostics and intervention, offers essential technical knowledge of ultrasound, coupled with foundational insights into comparative anatomy and pathophysiology, which are vital for analyzing ultrasound and Doppler imaging. Ultimately, the objective of this text is to enhance practical skills, thereby improving patient care and enabling effective performance in daily clinical practice.
