TRAUMA TO THE KIDNEY

May 23, 2008 Posted by

Injury to the urinary tract may at times produce blood in the urine. This is particularly a problem in contact sports, since the kidneys are easily traumatized. Long distance runners also frequently show signs of kidney damage with elevated enzymes and blood in the urine. This may be related not only to the metabolic breakdown of muscle during severe exercise, but also to the dehydration that results from profound sweating. In most cases of urinary trauma where the urethra, bladder, or ureters have not been ruptured bed rest combined with hot packs and adequate fluid intake will produce a rapid cure.
