In a case series of 8 patients with atheroembolic renal disease, diagnosis was confirmed by kidney biopsy showing cholesterol clefts, highlighting the variability in clinical presentation and the necessity of biopsy for definitive diagnosis.
Why the study?
Atheroembolic renal disease is an underdiagnosed condition with variable clinical presentation.
