[PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE KIDNEYS IN POLYTRAUMA FATALITIES].

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a morphological study of kidneys of 30 patients, who died as a result of multiple injuries. In 96.7% of decedents, in the absence of external signs of kidney integrity violation, there were plasmorrhagia, hemorrhage, destruction of glomeruli and tubules, epithelium desquamation, emergence of hyaline casts in the tubules. After 3 days lymphoid leukocyte infiltration in the parenchyma of the kidney was found, and after 30 days collagen fibers around the glomeruli and tubules were detected, which is representative of renal fibrosis.
