摘要

Acute renal infarction after lung cancer surgery is very rarely reported. A 65-year-old male patient presented with acute right-sided flank and abdominal pain 11 days after lung cancer surgery. The patient had elevated white blood cell count, serum lactate dehydrogenase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase levels. Contrast-enhanced computerized tomography showed a total perfusion defect in the right kidney, which suggested renal infarction. Conservative treatment was adopted due to the failure of local intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy. He was discharged after symptoms were alleviated. Acute renal infarction should be considered in elderly patients suffering from abrupt-onset severe flank or abdominal pain after lung cancer surgery. Key Words: Acute Kidney Injury; Lung Neoplasms; General Surgery.
