Page kidney phenomenon presenting as acute renal failure after partial nephrectomy: a case report and review of the literature.
BACKGROUND
The Page kidney phenomenon, whilst a known condition, is in itself a rare entity. This report illustrates a case following partial nephrectomy which presented as post-operative renal failure.


METHODS
The authors present a case of renal cell carcinoma in a solitary kidney that after partial nephrectomy resulted in a subcapsular haematoma formation and acute renal failure.


CONCLUSIONS
The condition of Page kidneys are typically described in young patients after trauma. However, with the increasing usage of surgical interventions, post-operative bleeding can result in a compression-induced necrosis.
