Abstract

Acute renal infarction (ARI) is an uncommon disease and delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis often leads to rapid deterioration of the patient. As patients with atrial fibrillation and left atrial myxomas are at risk of developing ARI due to cardiogenic thromboembolism, it is pivotal for clinicians to make a correct diagnosis and start a timely treatment. The present study reported on the case of a 68‑year‑old man who suffered from ARI secondary to thromboembolism associated with atrial fibrillation and left atrial myxomas. His renal function deteriorated rapidly after the onset of the attack. He was treated with anti‑coagulant agents with excellent results. Classical anti‑coagulation therapy remains to be the effective and safe treatment of ARI.
