ABSTRACT
Renal infarction usually occurs in patients with atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, trauma, renal artery stenosis, atherosclerosis, vasculitis, and hypercoagulable state. Protein C or S deficiency is an uncommon condition among hypercoagulable states and manifests deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism, cerebrovascular accident. In this report, we present a case of renal infarction occurred in 36-year-old male without underlying diseases except a family history of thromboembolism. He was admitted to our hospital due to an abrupt and continuous left flank pain. He had no previous history of an arterial or venous thrombosis. Tomography and renal angiography showed a left renal artery occlusion. He was treated with heparin and warfarin therapy. In laboratory tests, Protein C antigen level and protein S activity was 51.80% (72-160%) and 48% (65-140%). Thus, we concluded that renal infarction was secondary to combined type 1 protein C deficiency and type 2 protein S deficiency.
