Abstract:
Anuria suggests complete urinary tract obstruction, acute cortical necrosis, or massive vascular occlusion. We report a case of bilateral renal artery thrombosis in an 87-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and anuria in the last 24 hours. Serum creatinine at admission was 5.87 mg/dl and urea was 100 mg/dl. Computed tomography showed renal artery thrombosis and partial splenic infarction. A conservative approach was performed with anticoagulation with warfarin. The patient recovered renal function and urine output months later.
