Özet:

Acute renal artery thromboembolism is a critical problem requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. Most reports of renal infarction due to emboli are in patients with atrial fibrillation. Early diagnosis of renal artery thromboembolism is difficult. Patients with acute renal infarction typically complain of flank pain or generalized abdominal pain. Elevated peripheral white blood cell count, serum creatinine concentration and markedly elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase can be seen during renal infarction. In this case report, we describe a renal transplant recipient patient who developed an acute renal infarction due to atrial fibrillation. Keywords: Acute renal infarction; atrial fibrillation; renal artery occlusion; renal artery thromboembolism; renal transplantation.
