Abstract
A 28-year-old renal transplant patient developed a shock due to an acu te bleeding from his right native kidney. An urgent nephrectomy was pe rformed. Macroscopic and histological examination revealed a pyelocali ceal diverticulum as the cause of the hemorrhage. This rare event must be taken into account in every case of an unexplained acute renal ble eding.
