CLINICAL CASE OF RENAL INFARCTION AT VINMEC PHU QUOC INTERNATIONAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
We present a clinical case of renal infarction at Vinmec Phu Quoc international hospital. A 74-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation was admitted to the hospital because of abdominal pain around the navel and left flank pain. The patient was diagnosed with a partial thrombosis of the left renal artery with partial extension into the abdominal aorta. The patient was then given anticoagulation, transferred to Kien Giang Province General Hospital, and then underwent intervention to place a drug-eluting stent in the left renal artery, maintaining anticoagulation and dual antiplatelet therapy. After 2 weeks, the patient was re-examined with relatively good kidney function. Through this clinical case, we want to emphasize the importance of clinical judgment in the diagnosis of rare cases such as renal infarction and provide the opportunity for correct treatment, minimizing kidney damage for patients
