Congenital renal arteriovenous malformation presenting with gross hematuria after a routine jog: a case report

Authors: Erin L Dames, Lay Guat Ng, Kiang Hiong Tay

Published in: Journal of Medical Case Reports | Issue 1/2014

Abstract

Introduction

Congenital renal arteriovenous malformations are abnormal communications between the intrarenal venous and arterial systems. An unusual cause of massive gross hematuria and an even rarer cause of hemodynamically significant anemia, its presentation remains variable from incidental imaging findings to severe hypertension and congestive heart failure.

Case presentation

We present a case of a 44-year-old Chinese man with no personal or familial history of bleeding diasthesis that presented with gross hematuria leading to clot retention after routine physical activity.

Conclusions

We have presented this case in an effort to highlight the possibility of this entity as a cause of acute upper urinary tract hemorrhage and the need for a computed tomography angiogram to clinch the diagnosis.
