A case of acute renal thromboembolism treated by intraarterial low dose streptokinase infusion is reported. The treatment appears effective, safe and less-invasive then surgery, with quick relief of pain and normalisation of blood pressure and renal function. It is concluded that intraarterial infusion of thrombolytic agents should be attempted first in the treatment of renal arterial thrombo-embolism.
