What is a Forniceal rupture?
Renal forniceal or calyceal rupture is the radiographic finding of a perirenal urine leak as a result of ureteric obstruction.
Can a kidney stone rupture the ureter?
Impaction of stones on the ureter wall, or a downward moving calculus, which may cause erosion and ulceration of the ureteral wall, may lead to ureteral rupture at the distal ureteral obstruction.
What is a Urinoma?
A urinoma is a mass formed by encapsulated extravasated urine. It may follow closed renal injury, surgical operation or arise spontaneously in the presence of obstruction. The essential factors are continued renal function, rupture of the collecting system and distal obstruction.
What happens if a kidney ruptures?
Low back pain. Abdominal bruising, swelling, and pain. Signs of internal bleeding: decreased alertness, dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, low BP, nausea, vomiting. Decreased urine output or inability to urinate.
How long does a ruptured kidney take to heal?
The average time to heal is about six weeks; with minor lacerations, healing may occur even faster. Severe lacerations that may require surgery will require more time to heal.
How can hydronephrosis be resolved?
Most people with hydronephrosis will have a procedure called urinary catheterisation to drain the urine from their kidneys. Depending on the underlying cause, medication or surgery may be needed afterwards to correct the problem.
What is the normal size of fetal renal pelvis?
Normal measurements of the anteroposterior renal pelvis diameter are <4 mm at 16 to 27 weeks of gestation and <7 mm at ≥28 weeks of gestation.
How do you manage urinoma?
Treatment for small urinomas is usually conservative as the collection will most often be reabsorbed. Larger urinomas even without systemic signs often necessitate more aggressive medical treatment. A drainage catheter can be placed with ultrasound or CT guidance.
Is urinoma serious?
Untreated urinomas can result in serious complications, including urinary peritonitis, fibrosis, fistulae, abscess formation and septic shock [7]. Our patient had an indwelling ureteral stent that was obstructed despite a regular stent exchange every 3 months.
How do you treat a ruptured kidney?
How do you treat an individual with a kidney rupture?
- Surgery to repair organ, or remove it completely (Nephrectomy).
- Aspiration to remove pooled blood and swelling.
- Urinalysis.
- CBC (complete blood count)
- CT scan (Computed Tomography)
- Diagnostic Ultrasound.

What happens if your kidney ruptures?
Along with the bruising, a swollen area would be seen as well coupled with a pain. Internal Bleeding: In serious cases, people may experience internal bleeding. The worst part is that this cannot be seen until other severe symptoms start to show up. Nausea and vomiting are some of the common symptoms to start with.
