We describe a case of acute kidney injury with decreased kidney perfusion in which contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen was performed for a nonrenal indication. This imaging procedure showed intrarenal blood flow redistribution from the cortex to the medulla that reversed after recovery of kidney function. Renal blood flow redistribution was described first almost a century ago in experimental models of renal ischemia, but clinical imaging studies are scarce. We provide a clear example of this phenomenon using contrast-enhanced computed tomography.

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
