Abstract

Today’s sports medicine physicians will commonly encounter athletes with renal injury. Haematuria is one of the first signs. The types of renal injury include renal trauma and exercise-induced haematuria. The single kidney athlete also poses a great challenge to the physicians. Many studies have described the prevalence of haematuria in both athletes and nonathletes. In the athletic population, the incidence is usually considerably higher. Using a gradual return to play progression and close monitoring, will enhance the probability of returning without complications.
