Abstract:
All of the circumstances influencing any of the elements of Virchow's Triad can increase the risk of venous thromboembolism. Assessing prothrombotic factors can sometimes be difficult. One of the examples of such a condition is nephrotic syndrome. In this condition at least two elements of Virchow's triad are affected: physiological blood composition and the venous blood flow which is slowed down by the edema. Except for the cases mentioned in KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes), the use of anticoagulant drugs in the prophylaxis of VTE (Venous Thromboembolism) in nephrotic syndrome seems unclear. Nevertheless, due to the increased risk of VTE, it is worth implementing mechanical anticoagulant prophylaxis, which can also improve the quality of life of patients by reducing swelling. The article analyzes the current knowledge on the field and gives some proposals with low bleeding risk.
