[Procedure in kidney injuries in children-- presentation of cases].

In recent years the number of children hospitalised due to multi-organ injuries, including kidney injuries, has systematically risen. The aim of the article is to present the history of illness of three boys with kidney injuries, as well as to analyse the impact of the variety of symptoms and their consequences on the choice of treatment. Frequency of kidney injuries in children coupled with the lack of correlation between the extent of the injury, severity of kidney damage, clinical symptoms and the presence or the lack of haematuria, requires that ultrasound examination of abdominal cavity is carried out in every case of every child with an injury, not just in cases of injuries to the abdominal cavity, followed by a more detailed imaging diagnostics if necessary. At present, computer tomography should be treated as the treatment method of choice in all patients with multiorgan injuries. Children with kidney injuries should be treated according to world standards and nephrectomy should be limited to chosen cases.
