Immune-related renal vein thrombosis in a renal allograft.
A patient developed a renal venous thrombosis 15 months after renal transplantation. In contrast to other cases described in the literature, the thrombosis was not related to vascular surgical trauma, but was immune-complex mediated. The patient's renal function stabilized and the nephrotic syndrome improved over 18 months follow-up during continuous oral anticoagulant therapy.
