Acute nontraumatic pathological conditions of the kidneys include frequent hematuria, renal colic, and acute renal failure. Infections and renal vascular problems are frequently encountered in an emergency department. In this pictorial review, we aim to discuss patterns of acute renal pathologies and explain hints for differential diagnosis with computed tomographic findings.
