title: Spontaneous renal subcapsular hematoma in an anticoagulated patient.
abstract: This is a case report of spontaneous subcapsular renal hematoma in an anticoagulated patient who was without excessive hypocoagulability and who was hemodynamically stable. Active bleeding was ruled out and a conservative treatment of discontinuing anticoagulant therapy was chosen. The patient was observed expectantly with serial abdominal computed tomography and abdominal ultrasound during her stay in the hospital. When diminution of the hematoma was detected, oral anticoagulation was resumed.
