Sonography in blunt renal trauma

H Schmoller, G Kunit, J Frick

    European Urology
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sonography effectively diagnosed blunt renal trauma in patients, identifying injuries like hematomas and ruptures. This imaging approach, used after urography, offers clear, economical, and patient-friendly diagnostic findings for kidney trauma.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Urology
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Blunt renal trauma diagnosis requires accurate imaging.
    • Traditional diagnostic methods may have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of sonography in blunt renal trauma.
    • To assess the role of sonography in conjunction with urography.

    Main Methods:

    • Sonography was performed in 27 patients with blunt renal trauma, typically after urography.
    • Pathological findings were recorded and analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Sonography revealed pathological findings in 15 patients.
    • Identified injuries included subcapsular/perirenal hematomas, ruptured kidneys, and renal pedicle injuries.
    • Pre-existing conditions like cysts, hydronephrosis, and tumors were also detected.

    Conclusions:

    • Sonography is a valuable tool for diagnosing blunt renal trauma.
    • The sequence of urography followed by sonography is cost-effective, provides clear results, and is well-tolerated by patients.
    • Angiography is indicated when other organ injuries are suspected or to clarify non-functioning kidneys on urography.
