Unilateral page kidney in end-stage renal disease patient presenting as recurrent flash pulmonary edema: A rare association
Page kidney refers to the extrinsic compression of renal parenchyma causing renovascular hypertension. We present the case of a 58-year-old female with refractory hypertension and recurrent episodes of flash pulmonary edema following trivial trauma. Despite initial management with percutaneous drainage of the perinephric hematoma, she eventually required a nephrectomy due to persistent symptoms. The symptoms resolved post nephrectomy. The case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and timely intervention in Page kidney to prevent long-term complications.
