Diagnosis usually comes after investigation of recurrent venous or arterial thromboses, emboli, or hypertension/proteinuria where the kidney is involved and is usually confirmed by laboratory testing. We describe a case of a man with a myocardial infarction who developed mural thrombus in an akinetic left ventricular segment but then who recurrently embolized first to one of his native kidneys and then later to a transplanted kidney. Although the clinical behavior was typical of antiphospholipid syndrome, it took numerous laboratory assays over many years until finally the problem was confirmed and life-long warfarin therapy instituted.
