RESUMEN
We present a case of true spontaneous cholesterol embolisation causing acute renal failure. There was no history of vascular procedural interventions or thrombolytic therapy prior to her presentation, but the patient did have a history of difficult hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. This case highlights the importance of remembering cholesterol embolisation as a potential cause of acute renal failure despite no apparent precipitant, especially with the presence of unexplained eosinophilia.
