WS can be a life-threatening condition due to hemorrhagic shock; consequently, prompt diagnosis and a therapeutic approach are essential for favorable outcomes. Treatment ranges from conservative management to surgical intervention. The most common etiologies are neoplasms and vascular diseases, but WS can also be observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis. In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), especially those on hemodialysis, acquired cystic kidney disease and renal cell carcinoma are among the primary causes of WS. Although less common, WS can develop in dialysis patients even in the absence of traditional (primary) risk factors. In general, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a paradoxical hemostatic profile, likely explaining their higher tendency to bleed, so WS can occur without existing predisposing factors. The multifactorial pathogenesis in these patients includes functional platelet abnormalities, intimal arterial fibrosis, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress associated with ESRD. The use of hemodialysis-related antithrombotic medications could serve as another contributing factor increasing the risk of bleeding. <b>C</b><b>ase Presentation:</b> We present a case report of a 62-year-old male on chronic dialysis who developed sudden right-sided lumbar pain and hematuria during dialysis without evidence of prior trauma.
