Page kidney: successful radiological management of acute renal failure. European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association

摘要

Page kidney is the external compression of a kidney. The condition is usually caused by a subcapsular haematoma, associated with high blood pressure and occasional renal failure, as described by Irwin Page in an animal model with cellophane papers wrapped round the kidney in 1939 and, subsequently, clinically in 1955 . The present case illustrates, in a patient with a single functioning kidney, the successful management of a spontaneous subcapsular haematoma that was causing both acute renal failure and hypertension.
