Renal Infarction in a Kidney With Multiple Renal Arteries

Multiple renal arteries are common, and their damage can lead to ischemia in the segments they supply. Renal infarction is a rare condition with a nonspecific presentation, primarily caused by embolism from the heart. The association between these entities has only been described in renal transplant recipients. We present the case of a patient with renal infarction of an unknown etiology in a native kidney with multiple renal arteries, an association not previously described in the literature.

Abstract

Multiple renal arteries are common, and their damage can lead to ischemia in the segments they supply. Renal infarction is a rare condition with a nonspecific presentation, primarily caused by embolism from the heart. The association between these entities has only been described in renal transplant recipients. We present the case of a patient with renal infarction of an unknown etiology in a native kidney with multiple renal arteries, an association not previously described in the literature.
