Abstract:
Emboli to the renal arteries occurs most often in patients with underlying cardiac disease. Hematuria is a common feature of renal infarction, but the finding of erythrocyte casts in cases of renal infarction has not been commonly reported. We report a case of renal artery embolization in a patient who had transient nephritic urine sediment, and review the significance of this finding.
