Atheroembolic Disease Mimicking Systemic Vasculitis

1988 
A 74-year-old woman was admitted to University Hospitals in June of 1982 with the diagnosis of acute renal insufficiency. The patient had been in her usual state of health until the previous month, when she complained of nausea, vomiting and generalized weakness. In addition, family members reported frequent episodes of confusion and a red rash in the lower extremities. She was evaluated by her family physician, who noted the rash and obtained blood test which included a BUN of 41 mg/dl and a serum creatinine of 4.6 mg/dl. The patient was transferred to University Hospitals for further evaluation.
