Abstract
A 35-year P1 with gestational hypertension presented with a persistent postpartum elevation of blood pressure (BP). Imaging studies revealed bilateral renal subcapsular hematoma (left>right). She was managed with an angiotensin receptor blocker initially and ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage of the collection for the optimal control of elevated BP. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of the kidneys are the most frequently used for diagnosing a Page kidney. Medical management with antihypertensive and regular follow-ups form the first line of treatment in Page kidneys. Percutaneous drainage, surgical decortication, laparoscopic intervention, and nephrectomy are necessary in cases of organized late hematomas. Spontaneous bilateral Page kidney is a rare but potentially treatable and curable form of hypertension. Percutaneous drainage is an effective method to drain the hematoma and control elevated BP.
