Pulmonary thromboembolism is a clinical and pathophysiological condition caused by occlusion of pulmonary arteries by thrombotic embolus. Deep venous thrombosis needn't necessarily be evident. Acute renal insufficiency is a syndrome manifested by rapid decrease or even complete urinary retention, which may be due to obturation of renal arteries by a thrombus. The condition is clinically manifested by hematuria, oliguria, anuria and death due to uremia.
