Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old male dog was brought in for blood in his urine, a condition known as idiopathic renal hematuria. After some tests, the veterinarian performed surgery to find the source of the bleeding. They discovered that blocking a specific part of the blood supply to the left kidney stopped the bleeding. Following this procedure, the dog's symptoms improved, and he has been doing well for over a year since the surgery.

Abstract
Exploratory laparotomy was performed on a dog suspected of having idiopathic renal hematuria. Two catheters were inserted into the bilateral ureters, and hematuria from the left kidney was confirmed. The blood flow was occluded in the ventral and dorsal rami of the left renal artery in order to localize the site of hemorrhage. As hematuria disappeared when the dorsal ramus was occluded, the site of renal hematuria was localized to the area dominated by the dorsal ramus of the renal artery. As a result of ligating the dorsal ramus of the left renal artery in this dog, renal hematuria subsided, and the dog has shown a favorable course, to date, one year after surgery.
