[Late effects of radiations on the kidney].
Clinical radiation damage to the kidney are nowadays a rare event. Nevertheless, this organ is very sensitive to radiation and dose exceeding 15 Gy may induce severe and life threatening damage many years after the treatment. Prevention remains the best treatment through a precise localisation of the kidneys before any irradiation of the upper abdomen.
