Intravenous pyelography in abdominal trauma.

W O Griffen, R P Belin, C B Ernst

    The Journal of Trauma
    |June 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intravenous pyelography (IVP) is valuable for diagnosing renal trauma in patients with abdominal injuries. Early IVP can help determine the need for surgery, even without hematuria.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Retrospective review of 23 patients with renal trauma admitted between 1975-1976.
    • Evaluation of diagnostic methods for renal trauma, including hematuria and intravenous pyelography (IVP).

    Observation:

    • Five patients with penetrating injuries all underwent IVP; one did not require surgery.
    • Among 18 blunt trauma patients, 6 of 14 with hematuria and IVP on admission were managed non-operatively.
    • Four patients without hematuria had renal lesions, with two requiring surgical intervention.

    Findings:

    • Intravenous pyelography (IVP) proved valuable in assessing renal trauma severity and guiding treatment decisions.
    • Hematuria is not always present in patients with significant renal lesions.

    Implications:

    • Recommend IVP for all patients with abdominal trauma, irrespective of hematuria presence.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis of renal trauma can prevent unnecessary surgical interventions.
    • Highlights the diagnostic utility of IVP in blunt and penetrating renal injuries.
