Acute arterial occlusion - kidney |
|
| Alternative Names: | Acute renal arterial thrombosis; Renal artery embolism; Acute renal artery occlusion; Embolism - renal artery
|
| Prevention: | In many cases the disorder is not preventable. The most important way to reduce risk is to stop smoking.
Preventive use of anticoagulants may be recommended for people with a high risk of developing emboli such as those with mitral stenosis, atrial fibrillation, or coagulation disorders. Control of atherosclerotic disease may reduce risk.
