  • Title: Bilateral renal artery occlusion in a patient with primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome: thrombosis, vasculitis or both?
    Author: Ames PR, Cianciaruso B, Bellizzi V, Balletta M, Lubrano E, Scarpa R, Brancaccio V.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1992 Nov; 19(11):1802-6. PubMed ID: 1491406.
    Abstract:
    A 43-year-old man presented with oliguria and hypertension. Renal arteriography showed bilateral renal artery occlusion. Circulating antiphospholipid antibodies were found together with a change in natural anticoagulant plasma levels. Immunofluorescence of examined vessels showed immune complex vasculitis. We discuss the pathogenetic mechanism leading to the development of this rare occlusive event.
