Spontaneous kidney rupture is a rare but serious complication. This study highlights its occurrence in patients with polyarteritis nodosa, urothelial carcinoma, and acquired renal cystic disease, emphasizing the need for clinical consideration.

Area of Science:

Nephrology
Urology
Pathology

Background:

Spontaneous kidney rupture is a rare complication associated with congenital or acquired renal lesions.
It presents a diagnostic challenge, often revealing underlying conditions through hemorrhagic complications.

Observation:

Three patients with non-traumatic kidney rupture were analyzed.
Causes included polyarteritis nodosa, urothelial carcinoma, and acquired renal cystic disease in end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis.

Findings:

Hemorrhagic complications from renal rupture led to the diagnosis of previously unsuspected conditions in all cases.
Nephrectomy was performed in all patients, resulting in positive outcomes.

Implications:
