Uncovering the etiology becomes important in tailoring treatment. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), when used in conjunction with a patient’s history and physical exam, can quickly identify if hydronephrosis is present and shed light on the underlying etiology. In this article, we discuss how incorporating POCUS into the initial assessment of patients with an AKI can reduce the number of unnecessary and expensive formal renal ultrasounds and potentially expedite clinically appropriate treatment. The purpose of this review is to examine the benefits, reliability, and feasibility of POCUS to further evaluate and manage patients with AKI. An extensive review of the literature was performed and found POCUS to be a reliable and realistic method for internists to incorporate into their assessment of patients with AKI. In this article, we also provide instruction on how to perform a POCUS exam of the kidneys and how to identify hydronephrosis. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges we face and ideas for further practice including the emergence of hand-held ultrasounds.","PeriodicalId":60567,"journal":{"name":"内科学期刊(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70665058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present the first series of rhupus in Niger. Observation 1: This is a patient suffering from chronic polyarthritis in whom the diagnosis of active seropositive, erosive and deforming RA had been made according to the 1987 ACR criteria and SLE on the presence of 4 criteria according to the 1997 ARA criteria and putting under conventional synthetic DMARDs. The outcome was favorable with a remission achieved after 8 weeks with a disease activity score (DAS) 28 at 2.2. Observation 2: 58-year-old patient with known diabetes type 2 in whom the diagnosis of rhupus was made according to the ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria for RA with a DAS28 of 3.6 and the 2019 LES criteria at 18 points with a SLEDAI score of 6. The evolution was marked by the occurrence of a myocardial infarction with a favorable outcome under medical management. Conclusion: Rhupus is a rare entity that can be complicated by cardiovascular events with the presence of an independent cardiovascular risk factor.","PeriodicalId":60567,"journal":{"name":"内科学期刊(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70665143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
