Inline EG

suggestion

"Renal injuries account for ~10% of abdominal trauma, and thus the demographic of affected individuals reflect that population. The incidence of renal injuries increases in pre-existing congenital or acquired renal pathology (e.g. horseshoe kidney, renal cysts)."

Line 3:228 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

"Due to the limited accessibility in the acute setting, and the lack of strong evidence (or expertise) CEUS is currently rarely used in the context of renal trauma. In select cases, it can be a valuable tool for problem-solving or follow-up (e.g. to reduce ionising radiation exposure)."

Line 30:244 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Patients tend to present with microscopic or macroscopic haematuria and flank and/or abdominal pain. In more severe cases, hypotension and shock may be present."

Line 5:120 · Use the Oxford comma in 'cases, hypotension and shock'.

"Penetrating trauma is uncommon and may cause injury to the renal parenchyma, vascular or collecting system."

Line 12:69 · Use the Oxford comma in 'parenchyma, vascular or collecting'.

"renal artery thrombosis, transection or dissection (see article: acute renal artery occlusion)"

Line 22:24 · Use the Oxford comma in 'thrombosis, transection or dissection'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Imaging generally should be reserved for the haemodynamically-stable patient; those who are haemodynamically-unstable are often taken directly to the operating theatre."

Line 7:80 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"vasculitis (e.g. scleroderma, PAN, SLE): wedge-shaped defect / striated nephrogram; small vessel microaneurysms; capsular retraction over parenchymal lesions in chronic disease"

Line 59:125 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"vasculitis (e.g. scleroderma, PAN, SLE): wedge-shaped defect / striated nephrogram; small vessel microaneurysms; capsular retraction over parenchymal lesions in chronic disease"

Line 59:154 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Recency

suggestion

"Due to the limited accessibility in the acute setting, and the lack of strong evidence (or expertise) CEUS is currently rarely used in the context of renal trauma. In select cases, it can be a valuable tool for problem-solving or follow-up (e.g. to reduce ionising radiation exposure)."

Line 30:114 · Avoid describing evidence as recent; give a date instead: 'currently'.
