Renal infarction is a challenging diagnosis that usually requires a high level of clinical suspicion because its clinical presentation is often attributed to more frequent causes. Here, we present the case of a young male with right flank pain. A computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen ruled out nephrolithiasis; hence, a CT urogram was performed, which revealed an acute right kidney infarction. The patient had no personal or family history of clotting disorders. Subsequent tests for atrial fibrillation, an intracardiac shunt, and genetic causes were negative, and a presumptive diagnosis of a hypercoagulable state from over-the-counter testosterone supplements was made.
肾梗死是一种具有挑战性的诊断,通常需要高度的临床怀疑,因为其临床表现常常归因于更常见的病因。在此,我们报告一例年轻男性右侧腰痛的病例。腹部计算机断层扫描(CT)排除了肾结石;因此,进行了CT尿路造影,结果显示右肾急性梗死。该患者无个人或家族凝血障碍病史。随后针对心房颤动、心内分流和遗传病因的检查均为阴性,推测诊断为非处方睾酮补充剂导致的高凝状态。
