“…2 The blunt force causes the majority (70-80%) of renal trauma cases. 2,4 Trauma can result in injury to the renal parenchyma or to the renal vasculature, which can cause bleeding or injury to the collecting system with possible leakage of urine. Diagnostic accuracy was measured regarding sensitivity, specicity, and positive and negative predictive values.…”

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) in detecting renal injuries compared to computed tomography (CT) as the gold standard. METHODOLOGY This cross-sectional study was conducted from 2022 to 2023 at the Department of Radiology, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. The sample size was 139. The sonographic examination and computed tomography were performed. RESULTSThe mean age was 38 years ± 13.81. 100(72%) patients were male while 39(28%) were female. FAST had a sensitivity of 85%, specificity of 57.14%, positive predictive value of 97.42%, negative predictive value of 16.66%, and diagnostic accuracy of 83.61%. CONCLUSION FAST has reasonable sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for detecting free fluid in traumatic renal injury patients.
