A member asked:
Got punched really hard in the wright kidney. is it possible i have extensive kidney damage now?

Possible...unlikely: The kidney is well protected by your ribcage and fatty tissue and usually injuries are caused by car accidents or falls from a significant height. But any blunt trauma can cause injury to the kidney and if you are concerned see your physician. If you have blood in urine or your pain keeps getting worse, instead of better you should see your doctor immediately.

See below: Injury to the kidney can cause blood to appear in the urine, which can sometimes also be small of microscopic amount, detected by a urine test.Blood can also collect around the capsule of the kidney which can potentially cause problems.See your doctor.
