The compression of the renal parenchyma due to a subcapsular hematoma, also known as the "Page kidney," is a potentially serious but treatable complication of renal biopsy. Hypertension is very common and, in some cases, renal failure may be present. In kidney transplantation, it is a not well-described entity. Rapid intervention is essential to avoid irreversible damage of the graft and preserve its function. We report 2 cases of acute renal failure due to Page kidney in patients with renal transplant after a percutaneous biopsy with successful recovery after surgical treatment. In addition, we conducted a literature review in order to describe the clinical characteristics of this infrequent complication in patients with a history of renal transplant.
