Brachial arterial thrombosis as the presenting symptom in an adult idiopathic membranous nephropathy- a case report.

BIDHUN KUIRAKOSE PAULOSE

Abstract


Thrombotic events are known to occur in nephrotic syndrome, as these patients have a
hypercoagulable state. Venous thrombosis is well recognized, but arterial thrombosis is rare and is
mainly noted in paediatric population. In the present study, we report a case of left brachial artery
thrombosis in an adult patient with nephrotic syndrome (Membranous Nephropathy).
