Nephrotic syndrome and pulmonary artery thrombosis.
Nephrotic syndrome is associated with various thromboembolic phenomena. Thrombosis in both the arterial and venous sides of circulation has been reported. We report a case of a 42-year-old man who suffered a right lower lobe pulmonary artery thrombus followed by thrombosis of the middle cerebral artery.
