Bilateral renal vein thrombosis secondary to methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase mutation: a rare case
Bilateral renal vein thrombosis secondary to methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase mutation: a rare case To the Editor, Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is a rare but serious complication that is associated with many systemic disorders [1]. Thromboembolic complications, especially RVT, are frequent in nephrotic syndrome and are very prevalent in membranous nephropathy [1]. Trauma, oral contraceptives...
متن کاملSegmental renal artery thrombosis secondary to methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase mutation: an unusual presentation.
Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of homocysteine to methionine, and folic acid is an essential cofactor. Mutations in the MTHFR gene lead to hyperhomocysteinemia and vascular thrombosis. Heterozygous mutation involving a single nucleotide polymorphism in the MTHFR gene leading to vascular thrombosis is very rare. We present a case of segmental...
متن کاملRetinal vein occlusion, homocysteine, and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase genotype.
PURPOSE The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the relationship between homocysteine (tHcy), 5,10 methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T genotype, folate and vitamin B12 status, and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). METHODS Subjects with RVO (n = 106) were recruited from outpatient and inpatient sources. Controls (n = 98) were selected to achieve a similar age and sex d...
متن کاملAcute bilateral renal vein thrombosis secondary to sepsis from pyelonephritis.
A 62-year-old obese female with no known chronic medical problems presented to the emergency department complaining of increasing fatigue and generalized weakness over several weeks duration. She appeared toxic with tachycardia, tachypnea, and hypotension. Initial laboratory tests revealed white blood cell count of 23,000/μL with a left shift, sodium of 151 mmol/L, potassium of 5.3 mmol/L, bica...
متن کاملRole of Hyperhomocysteinemia and Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase C677T Polymorphism in Idiopathic Portal Vein Thrombosis
PURPOSE Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare and life-threatening vascular disorder characterized by obstruction or narrowing of the portal vein. Hyperhomocysteinemia and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism has been studied in PVT patients with conflicting results. In the present study the association of hyperhomocysteinemia and MTHFR C677T polymorphism with PVT ris...
