“…Diagnosis of acute renal infarction is often missed or delayed because of the rarity of the disease and its nonspecific clinical manifestations; thus, CT results may be the first indication of unsuspected renal infarction. 5,6 Although we suspect that the severity of renal infarction affects short-or long-term renal function, there are no largescale reports describing this. To evaluate the effect of renal infarction on renal function prognosis, we retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients with renal infarction.…”

“…Around one half of SCD patients develop 18 Renal papillary infarction can result in painless hematuria that is gross in proportion, frequently reported among SCD patients and individuals with sickle cell trait. 19 Renal tubular acidosis can occur as a result of disturbances in the medullary blood flow that can lead to improper maintenance of the electrochemical gradients in the collecting ducts. These disturbances are often mild and asymptomatic but occasionally progress to severe clinical manifestations in case of rhabdomyolysis or volume depletion resulting in hyperkalemia and acidosis.…”

HbDPunjab is an uncommon variant hemoglobin that does not result in significant pathology when inherited as a homozygous disorder. When inherited with other hemoglobinopathies, it may result in varying disease phenotypes. HbSDPunjab has been rarely reported in Saudi Arabia, coexisting with alpha or beta thalassemia. In this report, we discuss the case of a 39 years old male who presented with severe anemia and renal injury and was later diagnosed with HbSDPunjab through electropheresis and genetic testing.

“…La existencia de proteinuria parece ser un hallazgo bastante común (presente en más de 70% de los casos) 13 . La hematuria microscópica y la piuria se encuentran menos frecuentemente.…”

La oclusión aguda de la arteria renal raramente se encuentra en la práctica clínica diaria. Su rareza y presentación clínica inespecífica son responsables por diagnóstico tardío o incluso por errores de diagnóstico, con síntomas que frecuentemente son atribuidos a otras entidades más comunes.No existe consenso en cuanto al abordaje terapéutico. Se describen modalidades de tratamiento múltiples en la literatura disponible. La terapia anticoagulante y medidas de apoyo son defendidas por algunos mientras otros recomiendan alternativas más invasivas, existiendo incluso autores que recomiendan cirugía abierta.Los autores presentan dos casos adicionales de isquemia renal aguda embolica. También es presentada una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura englobando aspectos etiológicos, clínicos, diagnósti-cos y aspectos terapéuticos.Palabras clave: Embolia renal. Infarto renal. ABSTRACTACUTE RENAL ISCHEMIA -UNUSUAL CAUSE OF LUMBAR PAIN Acute renal artery occlusion is rarely found in daily clinical practice. Its rarity and inespecific clinical presentation are responsible for late diagnosis or diagnostic errors, with symptoms frequently being erroneously attributed to other more common entities.There is no consensus in what concerns therapeutic options. Multiple treatment modalities are described in the available literature. Some defend anticoagulant therapy and support measures only while others recommend other more invasive alternatives reaching even open surgery.The authors present two additional case reports of acute embolic renal ischemia. A thorough literature review is also presented comprehending etiological, clinic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. NOTA CLÍNICA L a embolia de la arteria renal constituye la causa más importante de infarto renal, siendo origen frecuente de hipertensión o de fracaso renal. Aunque es rara como evento diagnóstico, diversos estudios, basados en datos procedentes de autopsias, sugieren que su ocurrencia es más frecuente de lo que se podría pensar. Su diagnóstico, sin embargo, requiere una elevada sospecha clínica para poder realizar las pruebas diagnósticas apropiadas.Virtualmente todas las situaciones de este tipo referenciadas en la bibliografía, corresponden a casos aislados o a series pequeñas, a menudo con críticas basadas en la heterogeneidad de su etiología. Esta heterogeneidad motiva la falta de respuesta a diversas cuestiones, particularmente aquellas relacionadas con la historia natural, definición de algoritmos de tratamiento de consenso y resultados proporcionados por las diferentes opciones terapéuticas.
