Abstract
- Thrombosis is one of the important complications in nephrotic syndrome and related to the hypercoagulable state of the nephrotic syndrome, although the exact mechanism is under the debate. While venous trombosis is frequently encountered, arterial thrombosis is rare. Renal vein thrombosis occurs frequently in the patients with nephrotic syndrome due to membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). It, however, rarely happens in IgA nephropathy. Intracardiac thrombus in the nephrotic syndrome have been described few in the earlier literatures. We reported a case of IgA nephropathy with LV thrombus and cerebral infarction that has been treated successfully with thrombolytic theraphy. So far, the patient on the outpatient clinics have reported no specific complaints.
