Antithrombotic regimen in adults with acute or subacute renal infarction

* In the absence of a preexisting diagnosis or vascular abnormality (eg, dissection), patients with renal infarction should undergo an evaluation for thromboembolic risk factors, such as atrial fibrillation or a hypercoagulable state. Refer to UpToDate content on renal infarction for details.

¶ For guidance choosing an anticoagulant in patients without an identified thromboembolic risk factor, refer to UpToDate content on renal infarction.
