S35.4: Injury of renal blood vessels

You have damaged one or more blood vessels in your abdomen.

There are many blood vessels in the abdomen. For example, there are blood vessels for the digestive organs, but also for the skin and muscles.

You have damaged blood vessels from one or both kidneys. There are normally 2 kidneys in the body. They filter blood and create urine. They thus help to detoxify the body. Furthermore, the kidneys regulate the blood pressure and salt content in the blood, among other things.

When a blood vessel is damaged, there is usually bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy, blood may collect in the tissue. There may then be some pain. When there is bleeding below the skin, a bruise sometimes forms.

  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
