摘要
Renal infarction is a rare cause of acute abdominal and flank pain. Whether it occurs due to thrombosis or embolism, the occlusion of the renal arteries always results in renal infarction. Cigarette smoking is a known risk factor for arterial thrombosis. Both vasoconstrictor and pro-thrombotic effects of smoking lead to arterial thrombosis. Herein, we report a case of acute renal infarction in a heavy smoker. The definite diagnosis was made by contrast-enhanced abdominal computerized tomography and renal arteriography.
