Abstract
A study was undertaken to determine if the observation of clusters of epithelial cells seen in the urinary sediment of a patient with acute renal artery embolus could provide a new and simple method of confirming the diagnosis. The urine from 5 dogs surgically infarcted and 3 humans undergoing percutaneous renal embolization for tumor were studied. Clusters of epithelial cells were observed in the urines of these dog and human models suggesting that this may be used as a rapid and easily performed test to confirm the clinical diagnosis of renal artery occlusion.
