Traumatic injuries to the renal blood vessels and in-hospital renal complications in patients with penetrating or blunt trauma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Traumatic injuries to renal blood vessels (IRBV) can have significant consequences for patients, impacting their mortality, morbidity, and quality of life.

Objective

This study aimed to compare trauma types and injury characteristics, vital signs, and outcomes in patients with and without IRBV (nIRBV) and examine whether IRBV and pre-existing renal dysfunction affected the likelihood of in-hospital renal complications (iHRC).

Materials and methods

After identifying penetrating and blunt trauma victims with IRBV in the National Trauma Data Bank, patient demographics, injury-related variables, treatment outcomes, and deaths under care were analyzed and compared.

Results

Of the 994,184 trauma victims, 610 (0.6%) experienced IRBV. Victims in the IRBV gro
