A pleasure to work with the #POCUS guru, NephroPOCUS and the prominent cardiologist, Frederik H. Verbrugge. The key role of #cardiac dysfunction in pathophysiology of #hepatorenal syndrome is the focus of this paper. Thanks to Prakash Gudsoorkar and Juan Carlos Q Velez for the invite. UFNephrology
#POCUS caution ⚠️
Sometimes, bowel can be mistaken for kidney. (especially in #hepatorenal cases with ascites and low quality images). Paying attention to the anatomy and recognizing vascular pattern on color Doppler help.

👉 As a fan of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), a study on ultrasound in liver cirrhosis and the hepatorenal syndrome published on 15th April 2024 caught my eye!
🧵 by Alexander Woywodt
So signs of decompensation that i found are
Ascites
Variceal bleeding
Hepatic enceph(drowsiness, altered sensorium, confusion)
SBP(sepsis)
Hepatorenal syndrome
Is Jaundice a sign of decompensation in CLD?

NephroPOCUS In hepatorenal cases i.e. when there’s portal hypertension the stomach and bowels tend to get congested and they appear swollen
