Page kidney of renal allograft following blunt trauma
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of the Page kidney phenomenon which occurred in a patient with a renal allograft following blunt trauma. The injury occurred following an accidental trip resulting in a trivial fall. The patient presented with acute graft dysfunction with no localizing symptoms or signs. His renal function deteriorated further and he also became hypertensive. Serial ultrasounds showed an increase in the size of perinephric hematoma and evidence of renal compression. Prompt surgical evacuation of the hematoma was performed and renal function returned to baseline. Serial ultrasound examinations and timely surgical intervention can prevent graft loss in this unusual situation.

We present two separate cases of young male patients with congenital kidney anomalies (horseshoe and crossed fused renal ectopia) identified following blunt abdominal trauma. Despite being rare, ectopic and fusion anomalies of the kidneys are occasionally noted in a trauma patient during imaging or upon exploration of the abdomen. Incidental renal findings may influence the management of trauma...

BACKGROUND Page kidney phenomenon is caused by strong renal parenchymal compression and leads to renal hypoperfusion and microvascular ischemia, resulting in renal dysfunction and hypertension. Although the development of Page kidney phenomenon in allograft is rare, most of its cases are induced by allograft biopsy or trauma. We observed a case of Page kidney phenomenon that was induced by unus...
