Causes and Prevention of Thromboembolic Disease in Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is defined as severe proteinuria (> 0.5 g / day), edema and hypoalbuminemia. It is conditioned by a defect in the kidney's glomerular filtration barrier, resulting in the loss of a large number of plasma proteins including coagulation factors and consequently a increased risk of thromboembolic complications. The most frequent cause of nephrotic syndrome is the renal disease membranous nephropathy, which is associated with the greatest risk of thromboembolic complications.
