Sažetak
From January 1982 to January 1994, 103 blunt renal injuries were sonographically diagnosed in 1083 patient who sustained blunt abdominal trauma. We have sonographically presented 46 (44, 6% of all renal lesions) contusions, 26 (25%) intracapsular ruptures of the kidney, 17 (16, 5%) extracapsular ruptures and 4 (3, 9%) renal conquassations. Using ultrasound in the early diagnosis and follow-up, we have conservately cured all contusions and intracapsular ruptures as well as 24% of extracapsular ruptures, altogether 86% of patients with diagnosed renal injury. Ultrasound achieved high sensitivity (97, 2%), specificity (99, 9%) and accuracy (99, 6%) in diagnosis of blunt renal injuries.
