title: A case of deep vein thrombosis in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome with resistance to activated protein C.
abstract: We report a case of deep vein thrombosis in a young man with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and resistance to activated protein C. We postulate that patients with concurrent nephrotic syndrome and factor V may have an increased risk of thrombosis. Screening for factor V Leiden may be indicated in patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.
