Kidney Hematoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A kidney hematoma is a collection of blood inside or around the kidney, generally caused by a blow, a fall, or trauma to the lower back or abdominal area. The blood may be contained beneath the renal capsule or spread to the tissue surrounding the organ.
Common symptoms: pain in the flank or lower back, presence of blood in the urine, tenderness to touch in the region, and, at times, bruising on the flank.
Common causes: direct trauma, accidents, medical procedures on the kidney, or certain disorders that affect clotting.
Which specialist treats it? The evaluation usually falls to the nephrologist, with support from the internist, and in minors to the pediatric nephrologist. In the face of a significant blow to the kidney area or blood in the urine, the prudent thing is to seek timely medical care to assess the extent of the injury.
