An unusual presentation of venous thrombosis in a child with idiopathic membranous nephropathy

Abstract EN

Venous thrombosis is one of the major complications associated with nephritic syndrome.

Among the primary glomerular diseases, membranous nephropathy is associated with a high incidence of thrombotic events.

Although this is well described in adults, there is paucity of the literature regarding venous thrombosis in children.

Herein, we report such a thrombotic event involving both the lower limb veins and the inferior vena cava in a child with membranous nephropathy.
