Pseudorejection: the Page kidney phenomenon in renal allografts
Abstract:
A case of renal allograft pseudorejection owing to perinephric hematoma is presented and the Page kidney phenomenon is discussed as the pathophysiologic mechanism. The term pseudorejection is introduced and defined as a remediable form of graft dysfunction resulting from renal parenchymal compression. Sonography was helpful, in addition to the standard diagnostic modalities in making the diagnosis. Early recognition and decompression of a peritransplant hematoma or lymphocele may decrease graft loss from this insidious entity.
