Abstract: . . .  Bilateral Renal artery Thrombosis 89 www.ums.ac.uk The rest of the biochemical work-up was normal. Doppler examination of renal arteries revealed total absence of blood flow bilaterally. Because of the recent exposure to unfractionated heparin during angiography, there was a strong suspicion of HITT syndrome, which was confirmed, with the identification of antibodies against . . .

It was surprising that partial recanalization of the right renal artery was gradually restored with the right kidney regaining partial function allowing the patient to become dialysis independent. conflIct of Interest The authors have no conflict of interest. . . .

Thrombosis appears to be due to heparin-like molecules (glycosaminoglycans) on the endothelial cell surface that, like heparin, can bind PF4. Immediate cessation of heparin is mandatory when HIT develops, but this will not stop  . . .
