Wunderlich syndrome

“…Patients may present with the classic “Lenk's triad” of acute flank or abdominal pain, a palpable flank mass, and hypovolemia but is usually nonspecific. Angiomyolipoma, renal cell carcinoma, and cystic disease underlie some cases while some are idiopathic, like ours . CT scan is the imaging modality of choice and treatment includes renal artery embolization or nephrectomy, depending on the severity.…”

“…Angiomyolipoma, renal cell carcinoma, and cystic disease underlie some cases while some are idiopathic, like ours. [2][3][4] CT scan is the imaging modality of choice and treatment includes renal artery embolization or nephrectomy, depending on the severity. It is important to note that ESRD patients are predisposed to bleeding diathesis in the setting of uremic platelet dysfunction, anemia, increases in nitric monoxide, irregularities in von Willebrand factor and impaired platelet-vessel wall interaction.…”

Acquired cystic kidney disease: A benign yet potentially fatal condition

“…We believe an observational cohort study on the lines of Bosniak classification, in patients with advanced CKD and end stage renal disease should be considered such that natural history of this condition, including potential complications e.g. malignancy [3] and bleeding can be better predicted.…”
