Abstract
The kidneys are beautiful organs for ultrasonography, because of their position, well defined characteristic appearance and excellent acoustic qualities. This is highly important for assessing all pathologies leading to macromorphological changes of the kidneys including these in blunt renal trauma. We could'nt find any paper on this topic in the recent literature available for us. Our own material in renal blunt trauma includes 17 patients. There were no pathological findings in 7, and pathological findings in 10 of them. Sonographic accuracy in severe trauma of the kidney is about 100%, excluding hydronephrotic kidneys, which cannot always be distinguished from a bigger parapelvic cyst. Urogramm resp. Uronephrotomogramm should be performed and studied thoroughly. Exceptions are Iodine allergy and pregnancy.
