A 17-year-old woman consulted our clinic with the complaint of gross hematuria and lower abdominal pain. Blood examination showed severe anemia and renal failure. Emergent hemodialysis and blood transfusion were performed. CT scanning revealed left retroperitoneal hematoma, right severe hydronephrosis and loss of uterus shadow. Under diagnosis of left renal rupture, left nephrectomy and removal of retroperitoneal hematoma were performed. The area of rupture in the left renal pelvis was identified on its posterior wall. Postoperatively renal function did not improve and periodic hemodialysis has been done.
