    Summary

    Renal venous thrombosis (RVT) predominantly affects newborns, particularly males. Diagnosis relies on clinical signs, lab tests, and imaging, with treatment focusing on homeostasis and preventing complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Vascular Thrombosis

    Background:

    • Renal venous thrombosis (RVT) is a condition primarily affecting newborns, with a 2:1 male-to-female ratio.
    • Risk factors include hyperosmolality, maternal prediabetes, and angiocardiography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define renal venous thrombosis (RVT) in neonates.
    • To outline diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies for RVT.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation and data analysis of neonatal cases.
    • Diagnostic support from hematologic parameters (platelets, FDP, plasminogen).
    • Radiological and nephrosonographic assessments for kidney status.

    Main Results:

    • Non-specific early signs include hematuria (49%) and enlarged, hard kidneys (60%).
    • Diagnostic accuracy reaches 90% with falling platelet/plasminogen or rising FDP levels.
    • Radiology and nephrosonography are crucial for diagnosis and assessing kidney function.

    Conclusions:

    • RVT management involves maintaining homeostasis, correcting uremia, and preventing renal hypertension.
    • Elective nephrectomy may be required for contracted, functionless kidneys.
    • Heparin and peritoneal dialysis have improved outcomes in bilateral RVT cases.
