Suggest treatment for hypo dense area in the kidney
Patient: Hi,My 31 yo son went to the ED today for crampy pain in his left flank, blood in his stool (he says only with straining); they checked labs and urine which were fine and did a CT scan which showed a hypodense area in upper pole of left kidney with some extension into perinephric fat; differential dx was infectious etiology vs ischemia.  Can you comment?
