    Nutcracker phenomenon, also known as left renal vein compression syndrome, is more common in men from puberty to around 40 years old. It occurs most commonly in children between the ages of 4 and 7, and is most common in children between the ages of 13 and 16. It is one of the common causes of non-renal hematuria in children and adolescents. Many people are very unfamiliar with this kind of disease, and they don’t know whether Nutcracker will become more and more serious.

    Nutcracker syndrome generally does not get worse. It is a congenital abnormality in growth and development. The renal vein shuttles between the renal artery and the superior mesenteric aorta. Due to the stress on the deep veins, it will manifest as hematuria. Most cases of nutcracker syndrome have no clinical symptoms. Among tall and obese people, symptoms such as gross hematuria after exercise or standing up are more likely to occur. It can be reduced after resting and increasing weight. Pay attention to avoid excessive exercise and avoid catching colds.
