The role of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound for evaluating renal perfusion dynamics in partially reversible acute cortical kidney ischemia in a patient with sepsis
Abstract
We report the case of a sepsis-induced acute kidney injury accompanied by disseminated intravascular coagulation and thrombotic microangiopathy, responsible for subsequent renal microvascular thrombosis. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used to assess the thrombotic cortical kidney ischemia and its evolution over time.
