An adequate assessment of intravascular volume is necessary to optimize targeted therapy in pediatric patients with kidney disease. The Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score is a new Doppler POCUS protocol recently applied in adults with heart disease as a system for assessing and classifying volemic status [1]. In this study we applied the VExUS ultrasound protocol in a nephropathic pediatric population (without heart disease) in the evaluation of their hemodynamic status.
