More Information
Summary:[...]a tissue biopsy is not necessary in patients with iatrogenic AERD presenting with the classical clinical features include precipitating event (aortic or coronary angiography), subacute or acute kidney injury, typical skin findings such as blue toe syndrome and/or livedo reticularis and/or presence of retinal cholesterol crystal emboli (Hollenhorst plaques). [...]like histology, fundoscopic examination should not be omitted that may confirm the diagnosis. Treatment modality is supportive and all patients should be aggressively managed for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease risk factors. Overall prognosis was poor with mortality of 25% due to the underlying disease. Since this is a single center study of a single digit cases, it may not truly reflect disease characteristics.
