Stasis and congestion occur followed by parenchymal swelling, necrosis and eventually fibrosis. The degree, distribution and consequences of the infarct depend on the vessel occluded.<br /> **Renal artery occlusion leads to total or subtotal renal necrosis.<br /> **Arcuate artery occlusion leads to necrosis of a wedge of the cortex and medulla.<br /> **Interlobular vessel occlusion causes cortical necrosis only.<br /> *An acute infarct appears as a wedge shaped area of swelling and haemorrhage. After 2 to 3 days, the area becomes pale with a surrounding zone of hyperaemia. Eventually shrinking and fibrosis occurs, leading to distortion of the contour.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Kidney - Vascular Pathology]]<br /> [[Category:To Do - Urinary]]</div>
