The angiographic diagnosis of acute hemorrhagic renal cortical necrosis.
The authors report a case of acute renal failure resulting from acute cortical necrosis. A selective renal angiogram defined a very unusual, abrupt termination of vascularity at the interlobular and arcuate levels. Nephro-angiography is an important tool in the diagnosis of acute cortical necrosis in the initial phase of acute renal failure.
