A pregnant patient with renal vein thrombosis successfully treated with low-dose thrombolytic therapy: a case report.
OBJECTIVE
An 18-year-old woman with membranous glomerulonephritis was seen at 26 weeks of gestation with a right renal vein thrombosis with 95% occlusion.


RESULTS
Both thrombolytic and anticoagulation therapy were administered with success.


CONCLUSIONS
Thrombolytic therapy, when used cautiously under intensive care settings, may prolong gestation to enhance the chances of a favorable outcome.
