AbstractThromboembolic complications, frequently associated with idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis, are frequent and serious problems associated with nephrotic syndrome. However, ovarian vein thrombosis associated with nephrotic syndrome has never been reported. This study describes the case of a 35-year-old woman with idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis who developed left renal vein thrombosis with ovarian vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The thromboembolic complications were successfully treated with low-molecular-weight heparin. Low-molecular-weight heparin thus appears safe and effective for treating thromboembolism in nephrotic patients.
