Atheroembolic renal disease is an important and often underdiagnosed cause of renal insufficiency in the elderly. Renal damage results from embolization of cholesterol crystals from atherosclerotic plaques in large vessels such as the abdominal aorta to small arteries of the kidney. The typical patient is a white male older than 60 years who has an insidious increase in serum creatinine levels after an arteriographic procedure or vascular surgery. Renal outcome ranges from partial recovery of kidney function to end stage renal disease requiring replacement therapy. Accurate diagnosis is often made by performing a skin, muscle or renal biopsy. Although effective therapy is lacking, Atheroembolism, Renal disease awareness of atheroembolic renal disease is necessary for prompt diagnosis and institution of supportive care.Keywords: Atheroembolism, Renal diseaseTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 1999, 19:290-295
