Abstract
|
|
|
|
Renal thromboembolism almost always occurs in the setting of cardiac disease. Acute renal infarction may occur rarely in middle-aged patients without apparent risk factors for cardiac thromboembolism. We report a 40-year-old man who developed bilateral renal infarction and had no cardiovascular risk factors, except smoking. In middle-aged healthy patients with renal colic without lithiasis, the diagnosis of idiopathic renal infarction should be considered, especially if lactate dehydrogenase is elevated.
