Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is the formation of a clot or thrombus obstructing the renal vein, leading to a reduction in drainage of the kidney.

Presentation

This thrombosis can lead to imbalances in blood clotting factor. Its symptoms may include blood in urine or being diminished in volume.

Diagnosis

CT angiography can be used in diagnosis. [cite journal |author=Asghar M, Ahmed K, Shah SS, Siddique MK, Dasgupta P, Khan MS |title=Renal vein thrombosis |journal=European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery |volume=34 |issue=2 |pages=217–23 |year=2007 |pmid=17543556 |doi=10.1016/j.ejvs.2007.02.017]

Treatment

Surgery to remove the clot is possible, but rarely performed.

Anticoagulation therapy can have some benefits.cite journal |author=Zigman A, Yazbeck S, Emil S, Nguyen L |title=Renal vein thrombosis: a 10-year review |journal=J. Pediatr. Surg. |volume=35 |issue=11 |pages=1540–2 |year=2000 |pmid=11083418 |doi=10.1053/jpsu.2000.18302]
