Sudden flank pain and elevated liver enzymes may signal acute renal artery occlusion. Early diagnosis and intra-arterial fibrinolysis improve kidney function recovery in renal artery embolism.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Acute non-traumatic renal artery occlusion is an uncommon but critical condition.
  • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are essential for preserving renal function.

Observation:

  • Clinical suspicion arises from sudden flank pain, cardiac embolic history, elevated LDH, ALAT, ASAT, and proteinuria.
  • Imaging reveals a non-functioning kidney on IVP and normal ultrasound findings.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic angiography is crucial for confirming renal artery occlusion.
  • Intra-arterial fibrinolysis is the preferred treatment when functional recovery is possible.

Implications:

  • Early detection and treatment of renal artery embolism significantly enhance the chances of functional recovery.
