It is advisable to act quickly in the case of a fractured kidney, a serious injury in which the kidney tissue tears, almost always due to strong trauma such as an accident, a fall, or a direct blow to the back or abdomen.
Warning signs: intense pain in the flank or the lower back, the presence of blood in the urine, swelling in the area, and, in serious cases, general signs of being unwell.
When to seek care? Immediately after a significant blow, especially if there is blood in the urine or pain that does not let up.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist evaluates and manages injuries of the kidney and the urinary tract, while the nephrologist monitors kidney function. Because of the potential severity of this injury, the essential thing is to receive urgent professional care to assess the extent of the damage.
