POCUS - Basic Renal Ultrasound

[@mixed5185]

Great lecture, thank you. I wish you showed where to put the probe for each image on a real patient though!

[@noumanakbar4200]

Pls make a video on probe handling !

[@abdirahimsheik9965]

We appreciate your efforts and your presentation was so exquisite, as junior physicians and beginners techniques and detection of organs are so important and we expect you to do more on techniques.

[@POCUSGeek]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paediatrics-historyandshor1160]

thank you very much for a wonderful tutorial i am not radiologist and nephrologist but its very good

[@gregattac5458]

Great video, thanks! Just a quick question: At 07:06 when you superimpose the kidney cartoon on the US, shouldn't the Ureter be in front of the vasculature, since we are looking at the kidney from behind in what is basically a coronal section?

[@POCUSGeek]

Great question on a small detail. One I had to verify myself with regards to the anatomy because I often don’t worry about this on ultrasound. They are in such close proximity and I’ll use color Doppler if I need to distinguish between ureter and vasculature. Here is some information that I found regarding your question. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK532980/ - see the 3rd paragraph in the introduction.

Good lecture sir, thank u

[@ajazalikhan4311]

Very informative and easy to understand

[@mazarjan7423]

So useful. Thank you so much

[@blodseeker67]

At 9.53 where you say "this is renal pelvis" you draw the hyperechoic center which represents fatty renal sinus. Pelvis is a part of collecting system and you can only see it if it is dilated. And it is anechoic. Am I missing something?

[@POCUSGeek]

Nope. Good catch and you are right. I don't refer to it as the renal sinus because this complicates the understanding I want people to have. It's easier to teach people that this is the renal pelvis and that this is where they should watch for hydronephrosis.

@@POCUSGeek thank you for you answer 🙏🏻 great video btw Sure it helped a lot of people

Thank you so much sir Can you please share your view about difference between echogenicity and echotexture?

[@POCUSGeek]

Echogenicity - is the ability for an item to return the sound wave to the machine. The more echoes return the brighter the appearance on the screen. Echotexture - this is the typical appearance of the said item. In other words - echoes returned from the kidney look much different than the liver. And those echoes returned create a certain pattern or appearance on the ultrasound screen that you expect to see. If the echotexture varies from what is expected than an abnormality is expected. For examample If a person wears a blue and red shirt they could have different shades of the both colors on the shirt - brighter or darker. This would be similar to echogenecity. But echotexture would the difference in pattern on the shirt. Polk-a-dots versus striped lines. They could have the same brightness but a different texture or in this case pattern. I think people typically talk of echogenecity as if it represents both things but those are the differences.

Very nice But you have not shown clearly which is cephalad and which is caudal end in left kidney. Imp for beginners
