Bilateral Renal Artery Thrombosis: A Case of Successful Kidney Recovery After Prolonged Anuria

Anuria suggests complete urinary tract obstruction, acute cortical necrosis, or massive vascular occlusion. We report a case of bilateral renal artery thrombosis in an 87-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and anuria in the last 24 hours. Serum creatin...

description Anuria suggests complete urinary tract obstruction, acute cortical necrosis, or massive vascular occlusion. We report a case of bilateral renal artery thrombosis in an 87-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and anuria in the last 24 hours. Serum creatinine at admission was 5.87 mg/dl and urea was 100 mg/dl. Computed tomography showed renal artery thrombosis and partial splenic infarction. A conservative approach was performed with anticoagulation with warfarin. The patient recovered renal function and urine output months later.
