Patient's question:
4-year-old baby's left renal vein compression: What to do and why it causes hematuriaPrevious treatment and outcomes: Taken Shenqing Pill orally
What kind of help is desired: Left renal vein compression causing hematuria, is the left renal vein compression severe?
Doctor's answer:
The veins of this kidney are responsible for draining blood, while the arterial blood flows into the kidney. After the procedure, the kidney veins drain into the heart. If the veins are compressed, blood flow may be impaired, causing blood cells to be squeezed out of the kidneys, leading to the reappearance of hematuria. This is usually a variation observed during autopsies and can be quite serious, although the severity depends on the child's condition. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be required.
