Renal infarction is a rare entity that presents similarly to other common renal conditions such as nephrolithiasis, which can often result in a missed or delayed diagnosis. As a result, a high degree of suspicion for this diagnosis is warranted in patients presenting with flank pain. We present a patient with recurrent nephrolithiasis who presented with flank pain. A subsequent workup revealed a renal infarct due to underlying renal artery thrombosis. We also explore if there was a possible mechanism between this event and his history of recurrent nephrolithiasis.
肾梗死是一种罕见的病症,其表现与其他常见的肾脏疾病(如肾结石)相似,这常常导致漏诊或诊断延迟。因此,对于出现侧腹痛的患者,有必要高度怀疑这种诊断。我们报告一例反复出现肾结石且伴有侧腹痛的患者。随后的检查发现是由潜在的肾动脉血栓形成导致的肾梗死。我们还探讨了这一事件与他反复出现肾结石病史之间是否存在可能的机制。
