Abstract/OtherAbstract:
It has long been known that patients with nephrotic syndrome have a hypercoagulable state, which explains the association between nephrotic syndrome, renal vein thrombosis, and thromboembolism. However, the Budd-Chiari syndrome has never been reported in nephrotic patients. This is the first report of such an association that, most likely, depended on a primary resistance to activated protein C.
