  • Title: Renal subcapsular hematoma: a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma.
    Author: Noble MJ, Novick AC, Straffon RA, Stewart BH.
    Journal: J Urol; 1981 Feb; 125(2):157-60. PubMed ID: 7206043.
    Abstract:
    Subcapsular renal hematomas have been found in 14 hypertensive patients between 17 and 66 years old. In 11 patients with chronic lesions hypertension improved more often with nephrectomy (7 of 7 cases) than with a conservative operation (2 of 4 cases). Non-operative management of acute hematoma resulted in radiographic resolution and improvement of hypertension in 3 of 3 patients. Awareness of the clinical features and judicious use of diagnostic modalities enable proper management of subcapsular renal hematomas in most cases.
