Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The nephrotic syndrome is an unusual cause of the hypercoaguable state and thromboembolic complications. Here we report the case of a 42-year-old woman with nephrotic syndrome who presented with a pulseless lower extremity and a midpole renal infarct requiring urgent embolectomy of the leg. During her embolic evaluation, she was found to have an intracardiac thrombus. Over the course of her hospitalization, she developed a pulseless upper extremity and required an embolectomy of her arm. We believe that this represents the first case report of a patient with nephrotic syndrome, intracardiac thrombus, and evidence of embolization to 3 sites: kidney, arm, and leg. |
