Recent studies and posts in nephronpower
have shown the importance of lung ultrasound in clinical care in nephrology. A recent
letter in Kidney International by our fellow and faculty highlight this
important skill as part of training for both fellows and faculty.
While renal sonography might be more sophisticated imaging
technique requiring more training, lung sonograms should become part of your
physical examination. It should help one
assess volume status better.
