We describe a case of acute kidney injury with decreased kidney perfusion in which contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen was performed for a nonrenal indication. This imaging procedure showed intrarenal blood flow redistribution from the cortex to the medulla that reversed after recovery of kidney function. Renal blood flow redistribution was described first almost a century ago in experimental models of renal ischemia, but clinical imaging studies are scarce. We provide a clear example of this phenomenon using contrast-enhanced computed tomography

Abstract

We describe a case of acute kidney injury with decreased kidney perfusion in which contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen was performed for a nonrenal indication. This imaging procedure showed intrarenal blood flow redistribution from the cortex to the medulla that reversed after recovery of kidney function. Renal blood flow redistribution was described first almost a century ago in experimental models of renal ischemia, but clinical imaging studies are scarce. We provide a clear example of this phenomenon using contrast-enhanced computed tomography

Medical Research, Organs & Systems includes resources dealing with the normal and disease states of single organs, tissues, or single physiological systems, exclusive of the heart, vascular and immune systems. Systems covered here include hepatology, pulmonary function/physiology, gastroenterology, otolaryngology, respiratory system, andrology, gynecology and reproduction, dermatology, and dentistry/odontology. Resources dealing with general physiology, classes of disease that immediately affect many or all body systems, and medical research focused on specific types of medical intervention are excluded.
