Ureteral Hematoma: A Case Report on Complications During Anticoagulant Therapy

Ureteral hematoma is a rare complication occurring during anticoagulant therapy, with fewer than 10 cases reported in the literature. Bleeding complications are underestimated. They affect about 10% of patients treated with long-term anti-vitamin K (AVK). The appearance of macroscopic hematuria may...

description Ureteral hematoma is a rare complication occurring during anticoagulant therapy, with fewer than 10 cases reported in the literature. Bleeding complications are underestimated. They affect about 10% of patients treated with long-term anti-vitamin K (AVK). The appearance of macroscopic hematuria may indicate the presence of underlying organic damage. Clinically, ureteral hematoma is manifested by lumbar or abdominal pain often associated with macroscopic hematuria. Imaging plays a major role in its diagnosis. Clinical and radiological evolution is always rapidly favorable after the correction of coagulation disorders and the immediate discontinuation of anticoagulant treatment. We report in this work the case of a patient in her 50s who presented a ureteral hematoma during her anticoagulant treatment.
