Portal Vein Thrombosis in a 21-Year-Old Man with Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis and Nephrotic Syndrome

Portal Vein Thrombosis in a 21-Year-Old Man with Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis and Nephrotic Syndrome

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, one of the main causes of nephrotic syndrome, is associated with a state of hypercoagulability that leads to increased risk of thrombotic events. Portosystemic collaterals may reopen due to reversal of the flow within the existing veins and be a presenting f...
