Although patients with certain clinical signs are more likely to have suffered major renal injury, no combination of clinical criteria permits consistently accurate staging. Radiographic staging usually begins with intravenous urography, which should confirm the presence of a normal contralateral kidney. Computed tomography should be considered when urography is indeterminate or when major renal or associated intra-abdominal injury is suspected.
