Abstract
Long-term anticoagulation therapy was evaluated in two patients with renal vein thrombosis and the nephrotic syndrome. Neither patient exhibited peripheral thromboemboli. Moreover, the renal vein thrombus resolved in both cases after eight months on a regimen of oral anticoagulant therapy. Glomerular filtration rate remained stable despite persistence of the nephrotic syndrome. These results suggest that long-term anticoagulation may be of distinct value in nephrotic patients with renal vein thrombosis.
