Renal arcuate vein thrombosis–induced acute kidney injury: a rare multiple-Hit–mediated disease

Résumé

Background Renal arcuate vein thrombosis (RAVT) is a rare and recently recognized cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in young adults. However, the precise incidence and underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to AKI in these patients remain elusive. Methods This study included all patients who underwent a kidney biopsy over a 40-month period sent to the pathology department of Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital, with evidence of RAVT. We performed coagulation tests, genetic testing for thrombophilia, complete urine toxicologic screening and kidney metagenomic sequencing to identify an underlying cause of thrombosis. Results We report five pediatric cases of RAVT discovered on kidney biopsy performed in the setting of unexplained AKI. Investigations did not reveal an underlying cause of thrombosis but only a significant nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use was reported in 4/5 patients, supporting a potential link between NSAIDs use and RAVT. By performing metagenomic sequencing on kidney biopsy samples, we detected severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in the kidney of one patient. These results suggest that systemic SARS-CoV-2 infection may also be a key contributing factor of renal thrombosis, particularly by inducing potential endothelial disruption. Conclusions In conclusion, RAVT-induced AKI appears to be a multiple hit–mediated disease in which NSAIDs consumption and viral infection such as SARS-CoV-2 may be crucial contributing factors. These findings may have significant public health implications given the prevalence of NSAIDs use in the general population. Increased awareness and additional study of future cases may lead to a better understanding of this rare cause of AKI in children and young adults.
