Study Notes
Renal Trauma
- The most common early pathological effect of minor renal trauma is subcapsular hematoma.
- Blunt trauma accounts for 80% of renal injuries.
- Avulsion of the renal pedicle is a rare vascular injury in renal trauma.
- Associated abdominal visceral injury is present in 10% of cases.
Diagnostic and Staging
- The most effective means for staging renal injuries is CT scan.
- Arteriography is indicated in the case of suspected renal pedicle injury.
Clinical Findings and Complications
- A common clinical finding in renal vascular hypertension is abrupt onset of hypertension.
- The most important immediate complication of renal injuries is bleeding.
- A common late complication following a renal injury is hypertension.
Management and Treatment
- Early complications of a renal injury include bleeding, urinary extravasation, and infection.
- Surgical measures for blunt renal injuries include exploration and repair of the injured kidney.
- The emergency measure in treating renal injuries is control of bleeding and preservation of renal function.
- Non-viable renal tissue and urinary extravasation on CT scan indicate the need for surgery.
Follow-up and Etiology
- Renal vascular hypertension is caused by renal ischemia, which can occur due to urinary extravasation in case of major renal injury.
- The most common etiology of renal injury is blunt trauma.
- Penetrating renal trauma usually requires surgery.
- Continuous hematuria and inappropriate vital signs in the GUE (Gross Unilateral Enlargement) indicate the need for immediate evaluation and treatment.
