  • Title: Low-molecular-weight heparin successfully treating a nephrotic patient complicated by renal and ovarian vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
    Author: Wang IK, Lee CH, Yang BY, Chang HY, Lin CL, Chuang FR.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract Suppl; 2005 Apr; (147):72-5. PubMed ID: 15875630.
    Abstract:
    Thromboembolic complications, frequently associated with idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis, are frequent and serious problems associated with nephrotic syndrome. However, ovarian vein thrombosis associated with nephrotic syndrome has never been reported. This study describes the case of a 35-year-old woman with idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis who developed left renal vein thrombosis with ovarian vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The thromboembolic complications were successfully treated with low-molecular-weight heparin. Low-molecular-weight heparin thus appears safe and effective for treating thromboembolism in nephrotic patients.
