S37: Injury of urinary and pelvic organs
S37.0: Injury of kidney
Injury of the kidney refers to any type of damage that happens to one or both kidneys. This injury can be due to various causes such as accidents where the abdominal area is impacted, sports injuries, or medical conditions which may include stones, infections, or tumors in the kidney. Typical symptoms of a kidney injury can include blood in the urine (turning it a dark or rusty color), pain in the abdominal or back area, and palpable abdominal swelling. In severe cases, this may lead to internal bleeding or kidney failure, which can have wide-ranging effects on the body's ability to cleanse the blood of toxins and create urine. It's crucial to note that the level of severity, symptoms, and outcomes of a kidney injury can vary widely based on the specific type of injury and individual health circumstances.
