Abstract
- Spontaneous renal rupture with diversion of blood into the subcapsular and/or perinephric spaces in a patient on chronic hemodialysis is a rare clinical entity. The underlying causes found by various authors were tumours, vascular diseases, inflammatory process and cysts. Rupture of renal cysts is another complication that can be life-threatening when it gives rise to subcapsular and/or perinephric hematomas. Screening has been recommended with ultrasound for hemodialysis patients of longer than 3years'duration. We are report a case of spontaneous renal rupture associated with right renal cyst in a patient receiving chronic hemodialysis.
