Renal failure due to cholesterol embolisation is an uncommonly recognised condition. It is usually associated with severe aortic atherosclerosis and in most cases follows a vascular event, such as angiography, vascular surgery, or aneurysm rupture. We report nine patients, all males, who presented to our unit. Six patients survived the initial event, although two died six and eight weeks later. This report emphasises that, although this condition has a high mortality, long term survival is not a rare event.
胆固醇栓塞所致肾衰竭是一种较少被认识的病症。它通常与严重的主动脉粥样硬化相关，且在大多数情况下发生于血管事件之后，如血管造影、血管手术或动脉瘤破裂。我们报告了9例就诊于我们科室的患者，均为男性。6例患者在初始事件中存活，尽管有2例分别在6周和8周后死亡。本报告强调，尽管这种病症死亡率高，但长期存活并非罕见。
