[Management of renal trauma].
Trauma incidence is increasing nowadays. Kidney injuries occur in about 10% of patients with blunt or penetrating trauma, and those lesions add morbidity and mortality when not appropriate care is carried out. A literature review of the most recent papers was done by the authors to clarify diagnosis and final treatment. The correct management is a must to preserve and keep the kidney function, moreover, the quality of life after a trauma event.
