[…] segmental arterial thrombosis, pedicle injuries, or disruption of the UPJ can even occur without hematuria in 10% of cases. [29], [30] Hematuria with positive history of blunt abdominal trauma is highly indicative for renal injury and further radiological workup [sjosm.org]
Treatment
According to MedlinePlus, treatment for a kidney injury includes bed rest for one to two weeks or until bleeding decreases. If kidney failure occurs, treatment for symptoms is needed. [reference.com]
Treatment: Seek medical attention immediately. [sportsinjuryclinic.net]
The degree of the injury determines the severity, symptoms and course of treatment. Any damage to your kidneys. [book-med.info]
TREATMENT The treatment of a contusion to the kidney or liver is rest and plenty of IV fluids. There is little that can be done to help the healing process, which may be slow. [webmd.com]
Treatment depends on the cause and resulting symptoms. Before providing treatment, your doctor will run tests to diagnose the condition and rule out other health complications. [healthline.com]

Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Etiology Blunt trauma from motor vehicle collisions, falls, and personal collisions are the leading cause of renal injury (~85%), the mechanism is from deceleration injuries from a collision of the kidney with the vertebral column or thoracic cage. [radiopaedia.org]

Epidemiology of renal trauma: In blunt abdominal trauma, up to 40% present with renal injury. In urban areas, 80% of renal injuries occur in the context of polytrauma. In ski resorts, 2/3 of renal injuries are due to skiing accidents. [urology-textbook.com]
Epidemiology Around 250,000 renal injuries occur each year worldwide [3, 4]. They affect mostly younger people (70 - 80 % of patients with renal injuries are < 44 years of age) [3, 5]. [military-medicine.com]
Epidemiology Frequency The frequency of renal injury somewhat depends on the patient population being considered. Renal trauma accounts for approximately 3% of all trauma admissions and as many as 10% of patients who sustain abdominal trauma. [emedicine.medscape.com]

This narrative review article presents an overview of the current knowledge of sport-related renal trauma among children after review of 56 research paper focusing on etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, safety measures, and treatment. [sjosm.org]
The pathophysiology and etiology of sports-induced hematuria, or atraumatic hematuria, can be divided into mechanisms related to exercise duration or exercise intensity. Traumatic hematuria will be discussed further in the renal trauma section. [journals.lww.com]
Prevention
PREVENTION The only way to prevent the injury is to protect the abdominal region. Padding will decrease the chance of bruising, although normal football padding does not protect the flank area. [webmd.com]
If there was any damage to the eye itself, you may need antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection. Your doctor may prescribe eye drops to minimize inflammation. [uvahealth.com]
