Abstract:
The symptoms of acute renal infarction (ARI) caused by atheroemboli are vague, making it rare. Early diagnosis of renal infarction can be made through contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen. However, diagnosing atheroemboli is more challenging. Kidney biopsy is the most accurate method to determine the cause, but it may not always be available in clinical settings. In cases where a thrombectomy is performed, white substances in thrombus aspiration or the patient's blood can suggest a diagnosis. Intervention is an effective technique, but there is controversy due to a lack of data, particularly in lobular artery infarction. We successfully treated one case using thrombus aspiration, and the specimens suggested atherosclerosis as the cause.
