Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is common in critically ill patients and is
strongly associated with adverse outcomes, including an increased risk of chronic kidney …

Organ dysfunction in the setting of heart failure is mainly determined by backward
transmission of increased right atrial pressure. Although traditional point-of-care ultrasound …

Fluid overload has been associated with morbidity and mortality in various clinical scenarios
including heart failure and critical illness. It exerts pathologic sequelae in almost all the …

Congestive heart failure (HF) is a complex disease state characterized by impaired
ventricular function and insufficient peripheral blood supply. The resultant reduced blood …

Despite the widespread use of intravenous fluids in acute kidney injury (AKI), solid evidence
is lacking. Intravenous fluids mainly improve AKI due to true hypovolaemia, which is difficult …

Objectives Venous congestion is a potential cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and venous
excess ultrasound (VExUS) score is a potentially useful tool in this scenario. The aim of this …

ABSTRACT Point-of-Care Ultrasonography (PoCUS) aims to include a fifth pillar
(insonation) in the classical physical examination in order to obtain images to answer …

Congestive nephropathy is kidney dysfunction caused by the impact of elevated venous
pressures on renal hemodynamics. As a part of cardiorenal syndrome, the diagnosis is …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid increase in serum
creatinine levels or a decrease in urine output or both. In spite of thorough history-taking …

Background The impact of changes in Doppler‐derived kidney venous flow in heart failure
(HF) is not well studied. We aimed to investigate the association of Doppler‐derived kidney …
