    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: We present the case of a spontaneous subcapsular renal hematoma with increase of the levels of blood pressure in a patient previously normotensive. METHODS: Patient with abdominal pain, spontaneous without previous trauma. CT showed a right subcapsular kidney hematoma. High levels of blood pressure were noticed at the admission in urology. CONCLUSION: Page kidney is a cause of arterial hypertension due to external compression of renal parenchyma. It could be unnoticed as essential hypertension if high suspicion is not taken into account. Nowadays, the main cause of Page kidney is the renal biopsy in the context of kidney transplantation. The treatment is not recommended in the guidelines although the conservative management is proposed as first option.
