Surgery is indicated in the following circumstances:

  • failure to respond to blood transfusion
  • massive haematuria
  • expanding loin mass
  • peritonitis

In the absence of these features a conservative approach of careful observation is preferred. Best-rest is prescribed until the patient returns to normal.

Surgical intervention usually results in partial or total nephrectomy.
