Renal artery thrombosis occurring in an adult with the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome: results of local treatment with streptokinase.
A 55 year old male with the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (minimal glomerular lesions by light microscopy and negative immunofluorescent stainings) presented righ renal artery thrombosis as evidenced by clinical and arteriographic findings. Local Streptokinase infusion by means of a renal artery catheter resulted in revascularization of the arterial tree, although recovery of renal function was only partial.
