Poor response to rivaroxaban in nephrotic syndrome with acute deep vein thrombosis

Nephrotic Syndrome Associated with Renal Vein Thrombosis

Remarkable regression of massive deep vein thrombosis in response to intensive oral rivaroxaban treatment

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common disease and is associated with pulmonary embolism (PE). Proximal iliofemoral DVT may lead to severe PE and chronic venous insufficiency.

Unilateral renal vein thrombosis and nephrotic syndrome.

The contents were evacuated and all but about one-eighth of the ectocyst, which projected freely into the peritoneal cavity was excised, leaving a disc of ectocyst attached to the pancreas.
