Abstract
Iatrogenic occurrences (including radiologically guided renal biopsy, shockwave lithotripsy, and minimally invasive ablative procedures) of subcapsular hematoma that lead to acute renal failure are rare but serious. The advancement of minimally invasive procedures has led to an increase in this complication, especially in patients with a solitary kidney. Fortunately, prompt surgical evacuation of the hematoma in these patients allows decompression of the renal parenchyma and recovery of renal function. We report a case of acute renal failure in a patient with a solitary kidney that resulted from a subcapsular hematoma as a complication of radiofrequency ablation.
