Abstract
The finding of haematuria is a valuable piece of information in low grade renal trauma. Particularly, if imaging methods fail to detect an injury, haematuria is a sign indicating renal trauma following a typical blunt force mechanism, even though our results of its evaluation were not statistically significant.
The absence of macroscopic or microscopic haematuria did not exclude the existence of renal trauma in our group, and it is therefore necessary to pay increased attention to the evaluation of findings obtained by imaging methods in patients involved in a typical blunt force accident.
