Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Renal biopsy performed in native or transplanted kidney is considered a safe procedure. However, as it is an invasive procedure bleeding related complications do occur. Bleeding complications such as macroscopic hematuria, renal hematoma, blood transfusion, and rarely nephrectomy and death have been reported in various studies. Acute Page kidney (APK) is a rare complication of post renal biopsy bleeding. CASE PRESENTATION: In this case report we present a case history of a 46-year-old patient complicated with APK, following a native kidney biopsy. Early surgical exploration and evacuation of large hematoma resulted in a favorable outcome. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: APK results from external compression of kidney and compression of the parenchyma can compromise the intra renal blood flow and cause renal impairment, activation of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) leads to systemic hypertension. CONCLUSION: Awareness, early recognition and timely intervention in APK, in a post renal biopsy bleeding is necessary to prevent poorer outcomes, especially progressively large hematoma is present and response to medical management inadequate.
