Abstract

© 2018, Logos Medical Publishing. All rights reserved.Renal artery occlusion results commonly from thromboembolism to renal artery from distant vascular system. Hyperhomocysteinemia is one of the hereditary hypercoagulability reasons. In order to elicit ethiology in the cases of arterial thrombosis, necessity of hypercoagulopathy screening tests is still controversial. Diagnosis of renal artery thromboembolism should be remembered in the patients who develop postoperative anuria and renal angiographic intervention must be performed immediately for thrombolytic therapy after renovascular imaging. We report a case of a 54-year-old woman with renal artery embolism on the contralateral kidney due to hyperhomocysteinemia after an open left radical nephrectomy.
