Post biopsy Page kidney has been reported, though a fast search and review reveals that it is reported more after allograft biopsies. Given the small sample size I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from this predominance, though it is possible that better compression post allograft biopsy (given more accessible location) may quickly reverse any capsular damage and predispose to a contained hematoma? Of course, Page kidney post-biopsy isn't very common, but should be kept somewhere in the deep reserves of the mind....Ernest Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06718621055634863757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230162007222918868.post-79276583461350854562010-05-18T14:27:16.372-04:002010-05-18T14:27:16.372-04:00I usually teach that you don't get a Page kidn...I usually teach that you don't get a Page kidney s/p percutaneous renal biopsy because in essence by puncturing the capsule, you are draining a potential sub-capsular hematoma and thus relieving the compression of the kidney. A Page kidney is usually caused by blunt trauma, renal hemorrhage without capsular interruption (breakage).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230162007222918868.post-38643561202200046432010-05-17T03:20:16.982-04:002010-05-17T03:20:16.982-04:00Very interesting post.
