Subcapsular hematoma (SRH) or perirenal hematoma (PRH) can be seen after trauma, interventional radiological procedures, urological procedures, anticoagulant medications, coagulation disorders, infections, and spontaneously in some patients. Within the urological procedures, PRH can occur after percutaneous nephrolithotomy and extracorporeal shortwave lithotripsy but has only been reported a few times after cystoscopy/ureteroscopy. Here, we present the case of PRH as a complication from cystoscopy with retrograde pyelography in a patient with underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD) and an extensive surgical history for nephrolithiasis. In addition to this, our patient had a further complication of sepsis by , of which the source is proven to be urinary, and it appears that the fungemia was triggered during the procedure as well. The diagnosis was confirmed by abdominal computed tomography (CT), and PRH was proven to resolve with conservative management on repeat imaging months later.

Objective: Recent studies have underscored the metabolic and cardiovascular regulatory capacity of perirenal adipose tissue (PAT), implicating its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). This investigation aims to assess the relationship between increased PAT mass and LVH, while also examining the potential mediating role of insulin resistance in this relationship among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Method: 1112 individuals with T2DM were prospectively recruited for this study.

Spontaneous, non-traumatic bleeding into the subcapsular and perirenal space is a rare and potentially fatal condition known as Wunderlich syndrome (WS). It has a variety of causes including the usage of anticoagulation. Many anticoagulants including warfarin can interact with other medication and lead to potentially fatal complications, Herein, we report a case of a 47 year old female on warfarin who developed subcapsular renal hematoma and retroperitoneal hematoma after the completion of ciprofloxacin treatment course.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features and treatment responses of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) and Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) with kidney involvement.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with RDD and ECD with kidney involvement from 2005 to 2023, evaluating kidney function changes, as well as computed tomography (CT), and metabolic responses.
Results: The study included 4 patients with RDD and 44 with ECD, with median ages of 58 and 51 years, respectively.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with low-grade inflammation, which can be exacerbated by renal artery stenosis (RAS) and renovascular hypertension, potentially worsening outcomes through pro-inflammatory cytokines. This study investigated whether mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) could reduce fat inflammation in pigs with MetS and RAS. Twenty-four pigs were divided into Lean (control), MetS, MetS + RAS, and MetS + RAS + MSCs.

In renal vasculitis, luminal narrowing can reduce blood flow and activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, causing renovascular hypertension. We present the case of a 47-year-old man with previous intestinal tuberculosis and episodes of lumbar pain, tender erythematous nodules and arthralgias. He had grade 3 hypertension, unresponsive to treatment, with left ventricular concentric hypertrophy and chronic kidney disease.
