A Practical Guide to Renal and Bladder Ultrasound - Dr Tatiana Havryliuk

In this episode of the “Southern Medicine Podcast,” Tatiana Havryliuk, MD, presents a focused session on using ultrasound to evaluate suspected renal colic, urinary retention, and other common genitourinary presentations in everyday practice. Dr. Havryliuk also demonstrates when renal and bladder ultrasound is most useful, how to obtain basic kidney and bladder views, measure bladder volume at the bedside, and recognize normal anatomy. In addition, she reviews key findings such as hydronephrosis and urinary retention, showing how point-of-care ultrasound can guide safe clinical decision-making and help reduce unnecessary imaging.
