Cocaine abuse is commonly associated with myocardial ischemia, mesenteric ischemia, and cerebrovascular accidents. Renal infarction is an uncommon complication of cocaine abuse. Various mechanisms have been postulated for this cocaine-related injury. There are only 15 cases reported on cocaine-induced renal infarction. Among the cases with available data, very few cases had left kidney involvement. We report a case of a 65-year-old African American man with history of cocaine abuse who presented with left flank pain and had left renal infarction.
可卡因滥用通常与心肌缺血、肠系膜缺血和脑血管意外有关。肾梗死是可卡因滥用的一种罕见并发症。对于这种与可卡因相关的损伤，已经提出了各种机制。关于可卡因诱发的肾梗死仅报道了15例。在有可用数据的病例中，很少有病例累及左肾。我们报告一例65岁有可卡因滥用史的非裔美国男性，他因左侧胁腹疼痛就诊，被诊断为左肾梗死。
