A kidney injury is any damage that affects one or both kidneys, the organs responsible for filtering the blood and eliminating waste through the urine. It can be due to trauma, problems in the blood vessels, or other causes.
Frequent symptoms: pain in the lower back or side, blood in the urine, changes in the amount of urine, or swelling; at times it runs a silent course.
When to see a doctor? In the presence of lower back pain after a blow, blood in the urine, or alterations in urinary function.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist studies the functioning of the kidney, while the urologist addresses conditions of the urinary tract; in children, the pediatric nephrologist is involved.
