A patient with life-threatening retroperitoneal hemorrhage after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is presented. Despite angioinfarction of the involved renal unit, nephrectomy ultimately was required to control bleeding. The urological and hematological aspects of the management are discussed.
