Three cases of spontaneous lumbar artery rupture in hemodialysis patients

Abstract: We encountered three cases of retroperitoneal hematoma caused by spontaneous lumbar artery rupture, a rare vascular complication. At the time of retroperitoneal hematoma, two patients were on anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy. One patient was not taking any anticoagulant/antiplatelet agents but was receiving hemodialysis treatment with heparin. Lumbar artery rupture was successfully controlled by transcatheter arterial embolization in all patients, but one patient developed multiple organ failure and died. We… Show more

“…4 The known risk factors for spontaneous RPH are anticoagulation, antiplatelet therapy, and chronic renal failure. 5 Symptoms of RPH are non-specific and atypical. It appears to be difficult to diagnose RPH as, per reports, 10.1% of all RPH (with various origins) are misdiagnosed initially.…”

“…It is reported that spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage may result from abdominal vascular rupture, rheumatologic disease, renal tumors, lumbar artery or venous rupture in anticoagulant administered and hemodialysis patients. 5 , 6 , 9 , 10 We must be wary of spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage if these patients present with flank pain, anemia, and hemodynamic instability.…”
