Abstract:
The thromboembolic complications of nephrotic syndrome are common especially in the renal vein. However peripheral arterial thrombosis has been reported much less frequently and results in a high rate of limb loss and death. We report one case of femoropopliteal artery thrombosis and also one of deep vein thrombosis, along with a review of the literature. We conclude that interventional treatment is also an important modality even in the hypercoagulable state. Furthermore strict anticoagulation is critical to prevent recurrence during the early stage.
