Abstract

Acute renal infarction secondary to atrial fibrillation is a rare clinical condition. Its clinical presentation

can be confused with other diseases with similar initial symptoms, and this may delay the diagnosis

and treatment. Our purpose is to increase awareness of this condition so that it is considered in the

diagnosis. Here we report a case of bilateral renal infarction causing acute renal failure in the setting of

persistent atrial fibrillation.
