OBJECTIVE To determine if renal autotransplantation is an effective treatment for the loin pain-hematuria syndrome. METHODS Retrospective chart review. METHODS Tertiary care referral centre in Manitoba. METHODS Four patients referred for diagnosis and management of loin pain-hematuria syndrome. Follow-up for each of the four was 2, 24, 29 and 48 months. METHODS Renal autotransplantation. METHODS Relief of pain with preservation of renal function and blood pressure.
