Key Clinical Message Larger perirenal hematomas after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ( ESWL ) are sometimes related to the loss of renal function due to compression of the normal renal tissue. After computed tomography‐guided drainage and locally applied urokinase, the hematoma was fractionally evacuated. This procedure is a save and fast way to recover normal renal function.
