A member asked:

Renal infarction with 50 % kidney infected. always get second opinion for action plan?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kidney infarct: Kidney infarction is serious - very serious. 50 % infarction is likely to disable the kidney more - over time. What caused this? Is only one kidney involved? Yes a second opinion is essential: Root cause? vascular fix needed? is BP shooting up? Best meds? Can kidney be spared? Or is removal best? Is other kidney in jeopardy?
