    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Cardiology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Renal infarction is a rare condition often presenting with flank pain.
    • Atrial fibrillation is a common cause of embolic events.
    • Diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in identifying renal vascular compromise.

    Observation:

    • A 43-year-old woman presented with acute left flank pain.
    • New-onset atrial fibrillation was detected during the workup.
    • Retrograde urogram and intravenous pyelogram confirmed renal infarction.

    Findings:

    • The patient's flank pain was attributed to renal infarction.
    • Thromboembolism secondary to atrial fibrillation was identified as the cause.
    • Cardiac evaluation was performed to assess the underlying heart condition.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and treatment of renal infarction are essential to preserve renal function.
    • Anticoagulation therapy is critical in patients with atrial fibrillation and thromboembolic events.
    • Multidisciplinary management involving cardiology and nephrology improves patient outcomes.
