AN INTERESTING CASE OF CEREBRAL INFARCTION AS A COMPLICATION OF NEPHROTIC SYNDROME- A CASE REPORT
Abstract
Arterial thrombosis is a rare complication in a patient with nephrotic syndrome compared with venous thrombosis. The nephrotic syndrome ,as a hypercoagulable state is clearly predispose to increased risk of spontaneous thrombosis and embolism. In adults, most thrombosis are venous, while in children arterial thromboses are more common. Here we report a rare case of a 43 yr-old man with cerebral arterial infarction associated with nephrotic syndrome due to membranous nephropathy.
