Page kidney: Rare cause of acute kidney injury after complicated renal artery angioplasty.

The authors present a case of a patient who experienced a rare complication after attempted renal angioplasty and stenting, Page kidney. This patient presented with new onset hypertension secondary to bilateral renal artery stenosis and was referred for revascularization given hypertension refractory to medical management. The right renal artery underwent successful angioplasty and stenting; however, the left renal artery experienced recoil stenosis. Post-procedure the patient developed acute kidney injury secondary to Page kidney from subcapsular and extracapsular hematoma. This was managed conservatively with transfusions and the hematoma and acute kidney injury self-resolved over the next 4 months. This case highlights the importance of revascularization for refractory hypertension secondary to hemodynamically significant bilateral renal artery stenosis, the rare complication of Page kidney with attempted revascularization of renal artery stenosis and the involvement of a hypertension specialist in the decision of revascularization of renal artery stenosis.
