Radiol Case Rep. 2017 Jun 17;12(3):511-513. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2017.05.003. eCollection 2017 Sep.

Abstract

Page kidney is a rarely seen phenomenon leading to secondary hypertension and encountered most frequently due to traumatic or nontraumatic subcapsular hematoma. Such a compression in kidneys causes hypoperfusion and microangiopathic ischemia and activates renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system leading to hypertension. In this presentation, we report a rare case of bilateral Page kidney presenting with hypertension attacks due to spontaneous subcapsular hematoma developing in different kidneys at different times.

Keywords: Computed tomography; Hypertension; Page kidney.
