Foley cath, bedrest until urine becomes clear. Follow Hb, exam, serum creatinine. Low elevation in creatinine can indicate urinoma or unilateral loss of kidney function.
Consider IVP to confirm patent ureter (blood clot common). Urine extravasation often responsive to stenting, drainage.

normal on CT. 

What next? Angiogram? Observe? 

When are we supposed to order a control CT (early and late)? 



Observe--operate if becomes unstable or peritonitis develops.  Repeat abdominal CT at some point in the near future (the last not based on any data--just would like to confirm no worsening)
