Traumatic Kidney Injury
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A traumatic kidney injury is the damage this organ suffers from a blow, a fall, or an accident that affects the flank or abdominal area. Its severity varies according to the force of the impact.
Common symptoms:
- Pain in the flank or lower back
- Blood in the urine
- Bruising or swelling in the affected area
When to see a doctor? After a significant trauma to the abdomen or flank, especially if blood appears in the urine, an evaluation without delay is necessary.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist and the nephrologist assess the state of the kidney; depending on the situation, the internist or the vascular surgeon may take part. After a strong blow to that area, the most sensible thing is for a professional to check the kidney as soon as possible.
