Abstract EN
Nephroptosis is a controversial phenomenon well described in the literature.
In this case report, we present a patient whose right kidney had “wandered” from its normal anatomic position in the retroperitoneum anteriorly and was in a fixed position anterior to the liver secondary to hydronephrosis.
As opposed to the suspected mechanism of nephroptosis, we offer a hydraulic theory as to the origin of the energy required to cause this translocation.
The work required to move the patient's kidney was generated by her cardiac output.
