Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are localized dilations of the renal artery and/or its branches. They are being found with increasing frequency as a result of unrelated abdominal imaging or on workup for hypertension. They are rarely symptomatic; however, they can be a cause of life-threatening hematuria. Discussed is the case of a previously healthy 46-year-old man presenting with flank pain and gross hematuria. It is imperative for the practicing urologist to be aware of the appropriate evaluation and management of RAAs.
肾动脉动脉瘤(RAAs)是肾动脉及其分支的局限性扩张。由于无关的腹部影像学检查或高血压检查,它们被发现的频率越来越高。它们很少有症状;然而,它们可能是危及生命的血尿的一个原因。本文讨论了一名46岁既往健康男性出现胁腹疼痛和肉眼血尿的病例。执业泌尿科医生必须了解肾动脉动脉瘤的适当评估和管理。
