“…Renal ultrasonography is commonly used as the initial screening examination in pediatric nephrology and urology patients to assess congenital anatomical variants of the kidney and urinary tract, urolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, renal fusion, bladder outlet obstruction, cystic kidney diseases, hydronephrosis, and vascular anomalies (Table 2 ) [ 14 , 15 ]. It is imperative that the POCUS-performing clinician has thorough understanding of the pediatric pathology as it can be quite different compared to adults.…”

“…POCUS is a valuable adjunct in managing patients with suspected allograft dysfunction. In the immediate postoperative period, a dysfunctional allograft typically shows hypoechoic and swollen parenchyma with a loss of normal corticomedullary differentiation and poor color flow; PWD evaluation may reveal elevated arterial resistive indices [ 14 , 15 , 24 – 26 ]. In addition, special attention must be paid to peri-nephric areas for collections such as hematoma, urinoma, lymphocele, etc.…”

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has evolved in recent years in clinical practice, helping in early bedside diagnosis of important etiologies. Many medical schools and training programs are integrating POCUS into their curriculum. Especially with the technological advances of newer handheld ultrasound devices, POCUS has now become a component adjunct to clinical examination, in the clinic and bedside in critical care units. The diagnostic utility of POCUS lies both in early identification of critical kidney disease, and also extra-renal pathologies from a focused cardiac ultrasound, lung ultrasound, and integrated fluid assessment. There is a need to incorporate POCUS in training in pediatric nephrology and establish competency standard criteria. This review shall cover how POCUS helps in enhancing patient care in pediatric kidney disorders and critical children, and the recent advances.
