CT Imaging of Emergent Renal Conditions

The kidneys are paired intra-abdominal organs which provide essential functions and maintain homeostasis throughout the human body. Numerous disease processes affect the kidneys and cause acute renal dysfunction or other potentially catastrophic complications. These conditions can be broadly categorized into obstructive, infectious, hemorrhagic, traumatic and vascular diseases. Imaging plays a vital role in the work-up and diagnosis of acute and emergent renal conditions. Evaluation of emergent renal conditions with a focus on CT imaging are discussed.
