Being a common occurrence in victims of natural disasters and human wars,<unk>  is still a rare finding in daily practice. Falling short to direct-fatal trauma,<unk>  is the second most common cause of mortality after a disaster. It is the sequalae that follows when an individual or a part of him/her has been<unk> ed between two heavy objects and although it has a wide range of presentation like shock, trouble breathing, electrolyte disturbances and irregular beating of the heart, the main culprit behind these findings is the extensive damage to the kidneys as a result of the trauma the person was subjected to. This can be prevented with aggressive fluid resuscitation, but the sheer number of incoming trauma patients during a calamity plays a major role in creating logistic problems for the response teams and hence it becomes important to diagnose it earlier rather than later.
