In May 2017, a 73-year-old male patient developed breathlessness. His echocardiography study showed global hypokinesia and ejection fraction of 45%. Cardiac angiogram was done and was started on aspirin. His creatinine increased from 1.7 mg/dl to 9.6 mg/dl. He was started on hemodialysis. He was diagnosed as having AERD by renal biopsy.
A 56-year-old female patient, a known hypertensive, was admitted in March 2016 with a serum creatinine of 5.7 mg/dl and 2+ proteinuria. She underwent hemodialysis. Renal biopsy showed cholesterol emboli in an interlobular artery.
