Abstract:
Acute thrombotic renal artery occlusion is rarely identified at premortem. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for salvage of renal function. We reported a case of successfully dissolved acute thrombotic occlusion of renal artery of 9 hour duration with intra-arterial infusion of urokinase in a 83-year-old man.
