Description
Nora Khaled Al Shehri and co-authors report the case of a young man with painless bleeding in his urine, in work published in 2026. The cause was a rare abnormal link between an artery and a vein inside the kidney. Such links can be hard to find because standard scans may miss small lesions deep in the organ.
The patient was a 31-year-old man whose CT and MRI scans showed no clear cause. A scope passed into the urinary tract ruled out cancer there. A dye test of the kidney arteries then revealed a fast-flowing abnormal link. Doctors blocked it with tiny coils placed through a catheter, which stopped the bleeding at once and kept kidney function intact. The case shows the value of artery imaging when bleeding stays unexplained.
