All men admitted to our institution with renal trauma or haematuria associated with Australian football from July 1995 to July 2001 were analysed.Results: There were 13 cases of renal trauma; two were grade V injuries requiring nephrectomy.Conclusion: Renal injury will be intermittently encountered owing to the popularity of Australian football. Renal injuries are often difficult to assess and early recognition, management and referral to a district hospital is crucial.
