Requires standardized POCUS training before broader nephrology adoption to avert harm; leaves open optimal certification pathways and prospective validation.
Successful integration of POCUS in nephrology requires rigorous training and standardized competency requirements to ensure safe and effective application.
Koratala et al. (2025) conducted a review in Nephrology. Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) was evaluated. Point-of-care ultrasonography in nephrology is expanding for broader diagnostic applications, requiring rigorous training and standardized competency requirements to prevent patient harm.
