Abstract:
The page kidney phenomenon is often associated in patients with abdominal trauma. External compression from a renal hematoma can cause hypertension, and presentation can be delayed following the initial injury. For patients who have a kidney allograft, page kidneys may lead to renal insufficiency and acute renal failure due to the absence of a contralateral kidney to compensate. This case report discusses the identification and management of a page kidney in a kidney allograft recipient within three months following transplantation.
