Renal Vein Thrombosis
A clot in the renal vein, known as renal vein thrombosis, is the blockage by a thrombus of the vessel that drains blood from the kidney. When this outflow is blocked, the kidney becomes congested and its function may be altered.
Frequent symptoms: pain in the side or the lower back, presence of blood in the urine, and swelling; in some cases it produces no obvious discomfort.
Common causes: it is associated with conditions that increase the tendency to clot, with kidney diseases, and with marked dehydration.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist, the vascular medicine specialist, and the vascular surgeon take part in its study and follow-up. In the face of intense low back pain accompanied by blood in the urine, the prudent step is to seek medical care to assess the presence of a clot in the renal vein.
