Abstract:
Thromboembolism is one of the common complications in nephrotic syndrome. The incidence of renal vein thrombosis in the setting of nephrotic syndrome varies from 5% to 62%. Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) has been rarely manifested as inferior vena cava (IVC) and/or renal vein thrombosis. We report a case of acute IVC and left renal vein thrombosis as initial manifestation of MGN. The renal vein thrombosis was successfully treated with systemic thrombolysis with temporary IVC filter insertion. After 4 months, MGN was diagnosed by renal biopsy.
