Page Kidney Successfully Treated With Intrarenal Artery Embolization

External compression of the kidney is known as Page kidney.(1) Compression of the renal parenchyma clinically manifests as new-onset high blood pressure (BP) or less commonly as acute renal failure as originally described and demonstrated by Dr. Irwin Page from human case reports and animal models, respectively.(2) The condition usually occurs by a subcapsular hematoma caused by a traumatic or iatrogenic event. Management of Page kidney has evolved over the last 5 to 6 decades since its initial description in an American football player in 1955. Initially, as in the example just mentioned, the management consisted of radical nephrectomy. Other techniques followed, such as open surgery to evacuate the hematoma.(3)
