Abstract EN
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a state of hypercoagulability.
In this paper, we sought to determine risk factors for the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in children with NS.
The “with DVT” group included patients with decompensated NS and diagnosed with DVT.
The “without DVT” group included the same patients, six to eighteen months prior to the episode of DVT, with decompensated NS but without DVT.
Different prediction variables were analyzed.
The odds ratio for the occurrence of DVT in patients with triglyceride levels ≥300 mg/dL was 3.14 (95% CI 1.14 to 8.64).
For hematocrit levels ≥43% and for the presence of infection or a severe systemic event, the odds ratio was 4.37 (95% CI 1.23 to 15.53).
The presence of significant risk factors for the occurrence of DVT in children with NS may serve as a warning for the occurrence of venous thrombosis.
