Abstract
- Subcapsular renal hematoma without a history of trauma is uncommon, which has been reported with the association of underlying renal tumor, vascular or inflammatory disease. Recently, subcapsular renal hematoma has been reported to be a rare complication of acute pyelonephritis. If abdominal pain is acutely aggravated or hematocrit is rapidly decreased in the patient of acute pyelonephritis, subcapsular renal hematoma as a complication of acute pyelonephritis should be considered and confirmed by subsequent imaging studies. We report two cases of subcapsular renal hematoma as a complication of acute pyelonephritis.
