Abstract:
Factor V Leiden is one of the most prevalent forms of inherited thrombophilia. While its usual presentation is a deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, it can manifest less commonly as a renal infarction. Here, we describe a case of a previously healthy woman who was found to have a renal infarction triggered by a hypercoagulable state associated with the Factor V Leiden mutation. This case highlights the importance of considering thrombophilia as a differential diagnosis in cases of insidious acute renal infarction, especially in patients with no identified risk factors.

One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
