Although kidney trauma is a relatively common injury, its microscopic biomechanics are poorly understood. Experimental low-grade trauma in pig kidneys was studied using optical microscopy. We observed ruptures in the cortex as well as in the medulla. Both parts of the renal parenchyma were damaged, even in areas of the kidneys that were free of macroscopic cracks on the surface. To determine which constituents of the renal cortex and medulla, i.e. tubular parts of the nephron or the interstitial connective tissue, were less resistant to injury during the drop shatter test, we applied a simple stereological method to discriminate between random and tissue-specific rupture propagation. The ruptures propagated predominantly through the interstitial connective tissue of the renal cortex and medulla. The volume fraction of the tubules assessed by the Cavalieri principle was 90.4% within the renal cortex and 52.4% within the medulla. The most frequently affected blood vessels were the arcuate and interlobular veins, followed by the arcuate and interlobular arteries. No disruptions of the renal calyces were found.
