Sažetak
Acute renal artery thromboembolism is a critical condition and significant but commonly misdiagnosed and possibly reversible cause of kidney ischemic disease. This disorder is commonly overlooked, and an early and proper diagnosis can lead to proper therapy with greater chance for recovery of renal function and avoidance of unnecessary invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. When encountering a patient suffering from acute renal failure and atypical lower back or abdominal pain, especially one who has high risk factors, we recommend diagnostic screening based on serum lactate dehydrogenase determination with other diagnostic procedures and therapeutic algorithm for renal artery thromboembolism.
