[Idiopathic thrombosis of the renal vein]
Abstract:
Renal vein thrombosis (TVR) is not a common disease especially when is not associated with renal parenchymal nephropathy. TVR has no characteristic symptoms, so it is often late recognised. The main procedures for diagnosis of TVR are: echotomography, CT and phlebography. All these procedures, although very informative, have certain limits in the clinical use. Therapy of TVR trombolytic, anticoagulant or surgical: thrombectomy or nephrectomy. In cases where the underlying parenchymal disease exists, aggresive therapeutic approach is not recommended, but in acute idiopathic TVR immediate recanalisation of the renal vein is the most effective.
