N2  - Bilateral renal infarction is a rare phenomenon which can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms may often mimic renal calculi, infection, muscle inflammation, genital diseases, myocardial infarction, or ischemia. We present the case of a 55-year-old male patient who presented with non-radiating, left-sided flank pain associated with nausea and vomiting. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast demonstrated bilateral renal infarction. A thorough workup was initiated, and the thrombus formation due to left atrial enlargement from hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy was considered as the cause of the bilateral renal infarction in this patient. The patient's renal function improved with treatment, and she was discharged on an anticoagulant, considering her left atrial enlargement and renal infarction
