Abstract

67 years-old man with cardiovascular risk factors. He presents left low-back pain, days after complete atrioventricular block. Findings of elevated dehydrogenase lactate, microscopic hematuria in urine plus, our high index of suspicion make us to think in renal infarction and ask for a computerized tomography abdomen, where a filling defect is displayed on the segmental branches of the upper pole of the left kidney. Findings confirm a renal infarction. We performed conservative treatment, as currently there are just few indications for surgery.
