AbstractA 24-year-old man developed systolic hypertension as a result of renal contusion, perinephric fluid collection, and renal compression (Page kidney) after blunt renal trauma. The patient was treated with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor for 30 days, after which his blood pressure normalized and the medications were discontinued. Follow-up clinical and laboratory examinations at 3, 6, and 12 months showed normal results. Transient hypertension may develop in patients after blunt renal injury as a result of Page phenomenon. Appropriate medical therapy is warranted and may be successful because spontaneous resolution may be delayed or not occur at all.
