Classification of Renal Trauma and its Management: A Mini Review

Abstract

Oliver Grend* and Jayan Morph

The manufacture of illness by one person for the benefit of another is known as Munchausen syndrome via proxy. A survey of all Munchausen-byproxy cases indicated that 25% of the children had renal or urologic issues. Munchausen-by-proxy syndrome renal and urologic manifestations are not as prevalent as one may imagine. Although this illness can pose doctors with a challenging diagnostic challenge, being aware of it can help in the early discovery of falsification and lessen the physical and psychological harm to the victim. In this study, we performed a proxy analysis of Munchausen syndrome cases in paediatric nephrology, dividing them into groups based on the key presenting symptoms.
