RESUMEN
El embolismo de colesterol es una entidad infradiagnosticada que cursa con Insuficiencia renal subaguda y eosinofilia. Su pronóstico vital y renal es malo a corto plazo. Históricamente no ha tenido un tratamiento específico. Últimamente, se incide en la necesidad de tratarlo de forma más agresiva para mejorar su pronóstico. Entre otras agentes se preconiza el uso de estatinas con este fin. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 79 años con embolismo de colesterol que mejoró su función renal con el uso de estatinas (AU)
ABSTRACT
Cholesterol embolism is a disease underdiagnosed that can be recognised by subacute renal insufficiency and eosinophilia. Its vital and renal prognosis is bad in a short-term. It has not had a specific treatment along the years. Nowadays, there is a tendency that insists on the need to treat this more aggressively in order to improve the prognosis. Among other agents, the use of statins is recommended. We present now the case of a 79-year-old man with cholesterol embolism and whose renal function improved after the use of statins (AU)
