[Epidemiology, diagnosis and therapy of kidney injuries. A 20-year study from the city of Rostock].
From 1960 to 1980, 156 patients suffering from renal traumata were seen at the Urological Depts of the town of Rostock (GDR). The absence of haematuria does not exclude renal injury. If there is any suspicion, X-ray examination (urography) should be performed, with the exception of urgent cases (polytraumatized patients) where sonography should be done.
