Abstract:
A spontaneous subcapsular hematoma in an allograft kidney is a rare condition with only a few cases reported in the literature. Common causes of subcapsular hematoma of an allograft include trauma, post-biopsy status, occult malignancy, vascular diseases, and infection. Chronic allograft dysfunction related to spontaneous subcapsular hematoma is extremely rare. We report a case of spontaneous subcapsular hematoma in a patient who underwent a renal transplant 14 years ago in which we could not find an associated condition.
