Abstract

Renal trauma occurs in approximately 1–5 % of all trauma. The kidney is the most commonly injured genitourinary organ, with a male to female ratio of 3:1. The majority of renal injuries can be managed conservatively, although occasionally it can be acutely life-threatening. Approximately 10% of patients sustaining abdominal trauma have an injury to the genitourinary tract (1-4).
