Bilateral renal artery thrombosis in inherited thrombophilia: a rare cause of acute kidney injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the case of a 47-year-old man who developed significant acute, and subsequently chronic, kidney injury due to bilateral renal infarction. This occurred in the context of a combined inherited thrombophilia including antithrombin III deficiency and a prothrombin gene mutation. Bilateral renal artery thrombosis developed despite prophylactic treatment for thromboembolism. Arterial thrombosis is rare in the context of inherited thrombophilia and bilateral renal infarction is an unusual cause of acute kidney injury. Bilateral renal infarction due to primary renal artery thrombosis has not been previously described in antithrombin III deficiency, either as an isolated defect or in combination with other hereditary thrombophilia.

sIntroduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I / R) of the kidney as an inflammatory process in which multiple inflammatory factors are involved. Recently, one of the modalities of inflammation in AKI is Remote Ischemic Per-Conditioning (RIPerC). Materials and Methods: In this study, bilateral renal artery and vein occlusion were done for 45 minute and reperfusion a...
متن کاملA rare case of acute renal failure--acute bilateral renal artery embolism.
Acute renal failure is an emergency. Its incidence in hospitalized patients varies between 2 and 5% [1]. Rapid diagnosis followed by immediate therapy can frequently restore and preserve renal function, as acute renal failure is frequently a reversible condition. The definition proposed by the acute kidney injury network (AKIN) is often used for diagnosis of acute renal failure [2]. The causes ...

Renal infarction is a rare cause of acute kidney injury which could lead to permanent loss of renal function. A prompt diagnosis is necessary in order to achieve a successful revascularization of the occluded artery. Given the rarity of the disease and the paucity of the reported cases in the previous literature a high index of suspicion must be maintained not only in the classical cardiac sour...

INTRODUCTION The incidence of renal injury in a normal population is 4.8% and renovascular injuries comprise 4% of all renal injuries.(1) Segmental renal artery injury is not uncommon in blunt abdominal trauma and most of them can be conservatively managed.(2) There are some reports about unilateral segmental renal artery thrombosis (SRAT) but there are no reports of bilateral SRAT.(3) We will ...
