  • Title: Homozygous factor V Leiden mutation and disseminated thrombosis in a patient with nephrotic syndrome.
    Author: Kahveci A, Seyahi N, Seyahi E, Altiparmak MR, Ataman R, Serdengecti K.
    Journal: J Nephrol; 2007; 20(1):103-6. PubMed ID: 17347983.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a young male patient with nephrotic syndrome and multiple venous thromboses. The patient presented various aggregated thrombophilic risk factors. He was found to be homozygous for factor V Leiden mutation and his anticardiolipin antibody and homocysteine levels were high. The association between nephrotic syndrome and venous thrombosis is well known. However the presence of disseminated thrombosis should prompt an intensive work-up for the detection of thrombotic risk factors and aggressive anticoagulant therapy.
