ABSTRACT
Acute renal infarction is a rare condition that can cause irreversible kidney damage. The clinical presentation is nonspecific and the diagnosis is frequently miss doe delayed. We report a 55 year-old man who presented with a 5 hours history of acute right lower abdominal pain. His past medical history is significant for protein s deficiency and recurrent thromboembolic events. Computerized topography of the abdomen confirmed diagnosis of acute renal infarction.
Key words:Renal infarction, protein s deficiency, recurrent Thromboembolism.
