BACKGROUND: Acute @entity1188 is a rare condition whose diagnosis is often delayed. Major risk factors include @entity955 , @entity340 , @entity715 /dissection and @entity1003 . METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of 18 @entity1 admitted to our Nephrology Department between 1999 and 2015 for acute @entity1188 diagnosed by computed tomography. @entity29582 (DMSA) scintigraphy was performed in some @entity1 during follow-up to assess parenchymal lesions and estimate differential kidney function. RESULTS: Mean age was 59.8  years. Major associated risk factors included @entity101 (44  %), @entity28 (33  %), @entity955 (28  %), @entity1095 (17  %), smoking (17  %), prior @entity1031 event (11  %), @entity6 (11  %), estroprogestinic therapy (11  %). Seventy-two percent of @entity1 presented with @entity812 . Mean serum @entity1011 was 1.2      0.6  mg/dl. @entity810 occurred as the initial manifestation in two @entity1 . @entity1 were managed conservatively, with low molecular weight heparin (83  %) or @entity117 (11  %). At the end of follow-up serum @entity1011 was 1.1      0.3  mg/dl; one @entity1 remained on chronic hemodialysis. 58  % of @entity1 who underwent renal scintigraphy after a median of 8  months had a reduced contribution of the previously affected @entity8 . CONCLUSION: Risk factors associated with the development of @entity740 following @entity1188 are unknown. In our subjects, renal function remained stable in all but one @entity1 who developed @entity454 . Further studies should focus on etiology and evolution of kidney function in @entity1 with acute @entity1188 .
