title: High-grade renal injuries: radiographic findings correlated with intervention for renal hemorrhage.
abstract: With the advent of advanced trauma critical care, and precise methods of assessing renal trauma with computed tomography, most patients with high-grade renal trauma can be managed conservatively. Some patients, however, do not do well with conservative management. This article evaluates specific radiographic characteristics that have recently been associated with intervention for renal hemorrhage after trauma.
