The Spontaneous Rupture of a Contracted Kidney with Renal Hematoma in a Patient on CAPD : Experiences in Inha University Kidney Center between years 1996 - 2016

초록

Spontaneous renal bleeding into the subcapsular or perinephric spaces in a patient on chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a very rare clinical entity. Because of highly correlated incidence between acquired renal cyst and renal malignancy in dialysis, it should be followed-up with repeated radiologic studies after initial event of renal bleeding. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of spontaneous renal rupture (SRR) in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients. These case reports demonstrates spontaneous renal rupture should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained pain before drop in hematocrit occurs in long term peritoneal dialysis patients
