Abstract
Sonography is increasingly being performed by clinicians and has applications throughout the spectrum of nephrology, including acute and chronic renal failure, urinary obstruction, cystic disease, pain, hematuria, transplantation, kidney biopsy, temporary and permanent vascular access, and assessment of fluid status. The skill is relatively easily acquired, expedites patient care, and enhances the practice of nephrology. However, the lack of exposure in most training programs remains a major obstacle.
