A Rare Vascular Complication After Treatment In A Covid-19 Patient: Renal Artery Thrombus

Abstract

Although respiratory symptoms are dominant in COVID-19 (coronavirus disease-2019) infection, extrapulmonary systemic findings may be seen in the extremely sick group. Studies are showing that patients have a high incidence of arterial and venous thrombotic complications in COVID-19. Acute renal artery thrombosis represents a rarer type of arterial thromboembolism, even among the thrombotic complications of COVID-19 disease. Such complications appear especially during the active phase of the infection. In this article, a rare case of renal artery thrombus in a discharged patient after treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia despite prophylactic antithrombotic treatment is offered.
