My friend was seriously injured because of the car accident. When he went to the hospital for treatment, the doctor said he had kidney injury. Now let's share with you what is kidney injury.

What is kidney injury

First, the kidney is located in the retroperitoneum, deep position, usually not easy to damage, but often due to stab and gunshot wounds and open injury.

Second, renal parenchyma injury can also be caused by direct impact of waist or upper abdomen, or intense oscillation, which is called closed injury. As the kidney is rich in blood supply, once injured, it is easy to cause bleeding and urine extravasation to tissues, resulting in shock and infection.

Third, kidney injury is more common in men aged 20-40. It accounted for 3% of inpatients with trauma and 8-10% of abdominal injuries. 6-14% of abdominal puncture injuries can damage the kidney.
