A Case of Proteinuria Developing Secondary to Solitary Renal Vein Thrombosis Due to Oral Contraceptive Use
A Case of Proteinuria Developing Secondary to Solitary Renal Vein Thrombosis Due to Oral Contraceptive Use
Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is the presence of thrombi in major renal veins or their branches and is a rare clinical entity. RVT is one of the common thrombotic complications of nephrotic syndrome or renal cell carcinoma. Hormonal contraception can also rarely cause this complication. Herein, we presented a case of renal vein thrombosis accompanied by subnephrotic proteinuria after oral contraception.
