Emergency Department Management of Patients With Renal Infarction

It is planned to include 80 patients who presented to the hospital emergency department and were diagnosed with renal infarction between January 1, 2014, and June 1, 2023, in the study.

he data of patients diagnosed with renal infarction will be retrospectively collected from the hospital database and recorded in a data collection form. This includes information such as CBC (complete blood count), neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, lactate, anion gap, pH, bicarbonate, creatinine, urea, AST, ALT, fibrinogen, D-dimer, LDH, CRP, CT scan, and CT angiography results. Patients' demographic characteristics, physical examination findings, imaging, and laboratory results will be evaluated using patient records and the hospital registry system.

Our aim is to identify early morbidity and mortality indicators in cases of renal infarction where diagnosis is often delayed or missed, contributing to the survival of patients. We believe that the findings from our statistical analysis can guide routine practice, especially in the management of patients presenting to the emergency department with complaints of abdominal and/or flank pain
