Clinical ultrasound in nephrology

When should I perform a clinical ultrasound in nephrology?
Clinical ultrasound is a very useful technique in nephrology. It can provide answers to specific questions in a matter of minutes, right in the office: signs of nephrotic syndrome, hydronephrosis, malignancy, pericardial effusion, bladder volume, etc.

Clinical ultrasound also facilitates dialysis catheter placement in patients with renal failure, among other applications for guiding invasive procedures.
How can I learn about clinical ultrasound?
Initiation to the use of a clinical ultrasound probe is very straightforward. You will then need to take several sections of each organ to familiarize yourself with the gesture and probe positioning required to obtain quality images of the organ in question. You will also need to practice analyzing slices of both healthy and pathological organs.

echOpen provides resources to introduce you to the practice of clinical ultrasonography and the interpretation of your images.
