Nontraumatic Perirenal Hematomas: A Report Based on 7 Cases

Hypertensive Emergency in a Spontaneous Page Kidney

“…This case was successfully managed medically, and our patient's renal function returned to baseline. Page kidney is not often on the differential diagnosis for secondary causes of hypertension, but as this case demonstrates, early diagnosis and treatment are imperative [5].…”

Bilateral spontaneous perirenal haemorrhage in a patient on haemodialysis

“…Uson et al . [ 17 ] and Bosniak [ 18 ] advocated serial CT at an interval of 2–3 months until the haematoma resolves and a definite diagnosis may be possible. Thus, conservative management may prevent unnecessary nephrectomy in patients with a benign disease and a stable condition, permitting the possibility of nephron-sparing surgery if necessary [ 15 , 19 ].…”

Renal Allograft Rupture: a Report of Three Cases and Review of the Literature

“…Wunderlich [42] first reported a case of spontaneous rupture of a native kidney in 1856, and since then no more than 400 cases have been reported. Nontraumatic kidney rupture has been ascribed to var ious causes including renal tuberculosis [23], polycystic disease [12], neoplasms [24], arteriopathies such as per iarteritis nodosa with infarction [38], but the most com mon predisposing condition is probably hydronephrosis [38]. Rupture has also been attributed to intrarenal hem orrhage from a renal arterial aneurysm, anticoagulants [13], and blood dyscrasias.…”
