Renal Vein Thrombosis and the Nephrotic Syndrome

Abstract
Patients (98) with NS [nephrotic syndrome] were studied. RVT [renal vein thrombosis] usually occurs without overt clinical signs or symptoms. In order to determine the true incidence of RVT in patients with NS due to various causes and evaluate the effect of anticoagulation on the course of the disease, renal venography should be part of the diagnostic evaluation.
