Abstract
Emboli to the renal arteries occurs most often in patients with underl ying cardiac disease. Hematuria is a common feature of renal infarctio n, but the finding of erythrocyte casts in cases of renal infarction h as not been commonly reported. We report a case of renal artery emboli zation in a patient who had transient nephritic urine sediment, and re view the significance of this finding.
