title: A pregnant patient with renal vein thrombosis successfully treated with low-dose thrombolytic therapy: a case report.
abstract: 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.
