Unilateral renal artery embolism managed conservatively

V Srinivas, H G Kiruluta

    Canadian Journal of Surgery. Journal Canadien De Chirurgie
    |May 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Renal artery embolism is difficult to diagnose, often mimicking other abdominal issues. This case shows anticoagulants can restore function to a kidney with prolonged ischemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Renal artery embolism is a rare condition that poses diagnostic challenges due to its mimicry of common abdominal pathologies.
    • Current management strategies for renal artery embolism remain controversial, with a preference for conservative approaches among urologists.

    Observation:

    • The authors report a case of unilateral renal artery embolism, emphasizing diagnostic delays and difficulties.
    • The affected kidney was totally nonfunctioning and partially ischemic for over 18 hours.

    Findings:

    • Anticoagulant therapy demonstrated efficacy in restoring adequate renal function.
    • Successful restoration of function was achieved despite a significant duration of ischemia.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering renal artery embolism in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain.
    • Effective management with anticoagulants can salvage kidney function even after prolonged ischemia, challenging conservative management preferences.
