Current trend in the management of high-grade (4 and 5) renal injury and future directions
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In the mangement of high-grade (4 and 5) renal injuries, the surgical exploration usually leads to unwarranted nephrectomy in almost all cases. Now, inevitable nephrectomy is being avoided in few specialised trauma centres units. With current mangement options, majority of hemodynamically stable patients can be successfully managed nonoperatively. Improvements in the radiographic technology and development of a validated renal injury scoring system has led to improved staging of renal injury severity which is relatively easy to monitor. This article is an overview of multidisciplinary approach involved to facilitate the care of high-grade renal injury patients.
