Figure 21.

Renal infarcts in a 57-year-old man with COVID-19, diagnosed after presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Coronal contrast-enhanced CT image of the abdomen and pelvis shows multiple linear hypoattenuating areas, extending from the left renal sinus to the surface of the cortex (white arrows). Note the occlusive thrombus (black arrow) in the segmental left renal artery. The findings are indicative of an infarct of the left kidney. Small wedge-shaped regions of hypoattenuation were also present in the right kidney, indicative of an infarct (not shown). Note the small amount of perihepatic free fluid (FF).
