Renal Medullary Necrosis
The specialist who studies renal medullary necrosis is usually nephrology—adult and pediatric—sometimes in collaboration with urology, given that the damage affects a deep region of the kidney.
Renal medullary necrosis, closely related to necrosis of the renal papillae, consists of the death of tissue in the renal medulla, the inner region of the kidney, which can affect its ability to function.
Signs to watch for: blood in the urine, pain in the flank or back, and other urinary abnormalities.
Common causes: it is usually linked to situations that compromise blood flow to that region or to underlying diseases that predispose to it. If you notice persistent changes in the urine or discomfort in the flank, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional who can evaluate kidney function.
