Presentation
[…] the patient continues to be hyper tense and changes in his lower limbs, previously described are present. [colombiamedica.univalle.edu.co]
We present a case of acute renal artery thrombosis due to disseminated zygomycosis in a healthy young adult male.The diagnosis of renal artery occlusion was made on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) and confirmation of etiology was made only on post mortem [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Review of 65 cases from the literature showed that flank and epigastric pain and proteinuria are usually present. Renal artery thrombosis following blunt trauma has usually been diagnosed too late to salvage the kidney. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Lower Abdominal Pain
Because of persistent right middle and lower abdominal pain, a contrast‐enhanced abdominal CT was performed. The results showed a decreased uptake in the right kidney (Figure 1 ). An acute embolism of the right renal artery was suspected. [academic.oup.com]

Workup
Though easily treatable, this is a condition which is seldom investigated in the workup of thrombotic disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Initial laboratory workup revealed a leukocytosis of 12.9 bil/L. Basic metabolic panel, including creatinine, was unremarkable and urinalysis was normal. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was slightly elevated at 258 U/L. [austinpublishinggroup.com]
After a negative workup for secondary causes of renal infarct, including atrial fibrillation, vasculitis, hypercoagulability, endocarditis, and drugs, the foreign body was identified as the cause. [acgcasereports.gi.org]
A systematic approach can then be utilized to ensure that the vast majority of the possible complications are detected; particularly those that may require further diagnostic workup or surgical/radiologic intervention. [appliedradiology.com]

Treatment
Renal arterial thrombosis because of blunt abdominal trauma is still an underreported entity, treatment for which has not yet been established. Both early nephrectomy and delayed revascularization are not justified treatment options. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Antihypertensive treatment was continued (propanolol) and with oral anticoagulants (warfarin). [colombiamedica.univalle.edu.co]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis Acute renal artery occlusion is an emergency and requires immediate intervention. Treatment modalities include anticoagulation and thrombolysis/thrombectomy with renal artery stenting 1,3. Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]
The prognosis is variable depending upon the severity of lesions, whether unilateral or bilateral, comorbidities and co-existing atherosclerotic disease, age and response to medical or surgical therapy. [patient.info]
Outlook (Prognosis) Damage caused by arterial occlusion may go away. However, in most cases, it is permanent. If only one kidney is affected, the healthy kidney may take over filtering the blood and producing urine. [m.ufhealth.org]
Likewise, other factors such as blunt mechanisms, high-grade injuries (i.e. grade 5), and an attempted arterial repair are also associated with a poor prognosis [ 3 ]. [clinmedjournals.org]
Prognosis Most cases of renal vein thrombosis resolve over time, without permanent injury to the kidneys. Acute renal failure can occur with severe dehydration. [healthofchildren.com]
Etiology
Clinical features with suspected etiologies are reviewed. Recommendations for future evaluations are given. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Liu discussed an article by Oh that found that the most common etiology was cardiogenic, followed by idiopathic, renal artery injury, and hypercoagulable state. Labs include an elevated LDH, hematuria, and occasionally leukocytosis. [imrespdx.com]
The etiologies of end stage renal disease reported in our study were: one case of nephronophtisis, one case of renal hypoplasia and one case of vesico-ureteral reflux. The etiology was unknown in one case. [latunisiemedicale.com]
