title: [Renal infarction and acute renal failure induced by cocaine].
abstract: We describe the case of a 36 year old man, habitual consumer of cocaine, who after the inhaled cocaine consumption develops acute renal failure secondary to massive left and segmental right renal infarction. Although the most frequent complications associated to cocaine consumption are of cardiovascular and neurological nature, the kidney can be frequently affected.
