Abstract
Venous thrombosis is one of the major complications associated with nephrotic syndrome. Among the primary glomerular diseases, membranous nephropathy is associated with a high incidence of thrombotic events. Although this is well described in adults, there is paucity of the literature regarding venous thrombosis in children. Herein, we report such a thrombotic event involving both the lower limb veins and the inferior vena cava in a child with membranous nephropathy.
