Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) allows for real-time bedside imaging and interpretation, enhancing clinical decision-making by addressing focused clinical questions. Historically confined to procedural guidance in nephrology, POCUS is gaining traction for broader diagnostic applications, including comprehensive hemodynamic assessment. This narrative review examines the expanding role of POCUS in nephrology, highlighting its potential to improve patient care and streamline diagnostics while acknowledging associated risks. Improper or untrained use of POCUS can result in patient harm and diagnostic errors, underscoring the need for rigorous training and standardized competency requirements akin to board certification. Abhilash Koratala and Amir Kazory advocate for collaboration among nephrology societies to establish universal training frameworks and certification processes. Key elements for successful POCUS integration include learner motivation, structured longitudinal programs, and expert oversight. Additionally, proper understanding and investigator proficiency in POCUS enhance the quality of research output, further advancing the field. By fostering these principles, the nephrology community can maximize POCUS utility, ensuring its safe and effective application in clinical practice while addressing patient care gaps: https://bit.ly/KoratalaPERS25

Primary Aldosteronism Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG)

We are pleased to announce that our CPG, Primary Aldosteronism (https://bit.ly/44MbrSv), is now available. The new guideline has been drafted by a group of experts, led by Clinical Co-chairs Gail K. Adler, MD, and Michael Stowasser. It recommends more widespread screening for a common hormonal cause of high blood pressure known as primary aldosteronism.

Open Access: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) reduce body weight and improve glycemic control. They also have been shown to protect the heart and kidney in people with diabetes. However, the extrapolation of these findings to those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is uncertain. This study by Chen et al meta-analyzed data from clinical trials focusing on patients with CKD and noted that GLP-1RAs may slow kidney disease progression and lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death. These findings suggest that GLP-1RA offer multiple kidney and cardiovascular benefits to people with CKD.
