Point-of-care Ultrasound for Acute Kidney Injury

It is aimed to determine prerenal, renal and postrenal diagnoses of patients with acute kidney injury with POCUS performed in the emergency department. Patients who presented to the emergency department and who have acute kidney injury (AKI) according to the KDIGO criteria will be evaluated and patients diagnosed with AKI will be included in the study. The diagnostic accuracy of POCUS with the AKI etiologies of the patients will be evaluated.
