Covid-19 Hastasında Tedavi Sonrası Nadir Görülen Vasküler Komplikasyonu: Renal Arter Trombozu

COVID-19 (koronavirüs hastalığı-2019) enfeksiyonunda solunum semptomları baskın olsa da, ağır hasta grubunda ekstrapulmoner sistemik bulgular görülebilir. COVID-19’da hastaların yüksek arteriyel ve venöz trombotik komplikasyon insidansına sahip olduğunu gösteren çalışmalar mevcuttur. Akut renal arter trombozu, COVID-19 hastalığının trombotik komplikasyonları arasında bile daha nadir bir arteryel tromboembolizm tipini temsil eder. Bu tür komplikasyonlar özellikle enfeksiyonun aktif fazı sırasında ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu yazıda, COVID-19 pnömoni tedavisi sonrası taburcu edilen bir hastada profilaktik antitrombotik tedaviye rağmen renal arter trombüsü gelişen nadir bir olguyu sunuyoruz.

Rarely Seen Vascular Complication After Treatment in a Covid-19 Patient: Renal Artery Thrombosis

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.
