Loin pain hematuria syndrome (LPHS) is a rare condition manifested by flank pain, hematuria, and occasional low-grade fevers. Usually there are no physical findings other than hematuria. Although numerous etiological theories exist, the pathophysiology of LPHS is unknown and diagnosis remains one of exclusion. Renal autotransplantation has been suggested as an effective procedure to control the severe and debilitating pain. However, pain often recurs in the long term. This paper reviews our experiences with the diagnosis and management of this condition.
