Abstract:
The generalization of some comments about the role of imaging examination in diagnosis of renal trauma as non-preparative adominal tomography: has less value in diagnosis of renal trauma but helps to detect metanephric duct stone. Intravenous urography (UIV): these imagings are main to evaluate the rest of renal function, prevention of cases of traumatic renal excision, has less value in diagnosis of renal trauma. Adominal ultrasound: to detect suggestive signs of internal haemorrhage due to solid viscera breaking in abdomen. CT scan has an important role, to help identifying with or without renal trauma, the level of renal lesions, with or without other viscera lesions. Renal angiography: to block selectively vessels to make haemostatic in some cases of haemorrhage due to renal trauma. MRI is recommended for patients with contraindication of absolute using contrast media
