Complete venous ischaemia or infarction of kidney due to renal vein thrombosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/673328028

This refers to a complete restriction in venous blood supply from tissues of the kidney due to the lodging of a blood clot, a specific type of embolus known as a thrombus, in the renal vein causing decreased circulation resulting in the death of kidney tissue cells.
