Renal vein thrombosis.

    Summary

    Non-malignant renal vein thrombosis often presents with nephrotic syndrome, predominantly affecting young men. Treatment strategies, including anticoagulation and immunosuppressants, led to improvement in most patients, though some required renal allografts.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Non-malignant renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is a rare condition.
    • Manifestations can range from vague systemic illness to acute symptoms like flank pain and hematuria.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical manifestations, course, and treatment outcomes of non-malignant RVT.
    • To identify useful diagnostic indicators and evaluate treatment efficacy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 14 patients with non-malignant RVT.
    • Review of clinical data, diagnostic findings (urinalysis, excretory urography, angiography), and treatment regimens.
    • Long-term follow-up of patient outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Most patients presented with nephrotic syndrome; acute symptoms were seen in a minority.
    • RVT was more common in young men and on the left side.
    • Red blood cell casts, heavy proteinuria, and hypoalbuminemia were key indicators.
    • Excretory urography and angiography were crucial for diagnosis.
    • Treatment with anticoagulation, diuretics, cyclophosphamide, and steroids resulted in cure or improvement in 10 patients.
    • Three patients ultimately required renal allografts.

    Conclusions:

    • Non-malignant RVT requires a multi-faceted diagnostic approach.
    • Treatment strategies vary, with a combination of medical management and immunosuppression showing promise.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for favorable outcomes, though some cases progress to end-stage renal disease.
