Bilateral renal artery thrombosis is a rare but traumatic injury that is most commonly caused by sudden deceleration. Traditional methods of repair (e.g., in situ repair, bypass graft, and thrombectomy) have poor success rates. This report is the first successful use of autotransplantation in a patient with bilateral renal artery thrombosis.

RPF can be classified into Idiopathic, the most common, or secondary due to malignancy and various medications resulting in chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the retroperitoneum. The complications arise due to the compression of structures in the retroperitoneum.

Background: We sought to identify predictors of acute renal failure (ARF) following acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and its implications on postoperative outcomes.
Methods: ATAAD cases were identified from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons - Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (2017-2022). Cases with chronic dissection, prior aortic repair, primary endovascular repair, preoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, preoperative renal failure, and operative room deaths were excluded.

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic illness. Blood testing for tissue transglutaminase antibodies is the initial screening test for the diagnosis of CD, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and duodenal/jejunal biopsy are used to confirm CD. Intussusception (IS) is the process in which a proximal segment of the bowel invaginates through the lumen of a distal segment.

renal transplant carcinoma, especially in the context of bilateral renal carcinoma, is rare and often presents as small, low-grade papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC). There is currently no consensus or effective treatment for advanced metastatic RCC after kidney transplantation. A 40-year-old man developed renal transplant carcinoma with venous thrombus and lung metastases 13 years after transplantation.

We report a case of a very rare association of adrenal adenoma, unilateral adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral renal artery stenosis. A 61-year-old man with a remarkable history of two severe strokes was admitted to the Nephrology department with hypertension associated with severe hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Doppler of renal arteries was not conclusive, so contrast-enhanced scanning was done revealing a left adrenal adenoma, right adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral moderate renal artery stenosis.
