Blunt kidney injury is the leading pathology in urinary tract trauma, accounting for 10-15% of blunt abdominal trauma in general. So is blunt kidney injury dangerous? What is the treatment for kidney injury?

Abdominal trauma, especially kidney trauma, is becoming increasingly common in Vietnam, with common causes being traffic accidents, work accidents, etc., and mainly closed kidney trauma. One of the rare early complications of kidney trauma is pseudocysts caused by urine escaping from the kidney, accumulating without an outlet and requiring early treatment.

The kidney is an organ located deep in the peritoneum, has brittle parenchyma so it is easily ruptured due to trauma, but good blood circulation and nutrition make it easy to heal and restore function. Blunt kidney injury accounts for 80-85% of kidney injuries with symptoms that need to be noted for early detection and timely treatment.
