Renal Vein Thrombosis (RVT) is the formation of a clot in the vein that drains blood from the kidneys migrates to other parts of the body. It occurs most commonly in patients with nephrotic syndrome. Treatment options for renal vein thrombosis include anticoagulation with heparin, thrombolysis, and catheter-directed or surgical thrombectomy.
Renal vein thrombosis  occurs in both infants and adults. Onset of the disorder can be rapid  (acute) or gradual. The number of people who suffer from renal vein  thrombosis is difficult to determine, as many people do not show  symptoms, and the disorder is diagnosed only by specific tests. Ninety  percent of childhood cases occur in children under one year old, and 75%  occur in infants under one month of age. In adult women, oral  contraceptive use increases the risk of renal vein thrombosis.
