Renal Vein Thrombosis

Renal vein thrombosis is a condition where a blood clot forms in the renal vein, which is responsible for draining blood from the kidneys. This blockage can prevent proper blood flow, leading to kidney damage or swelling. It may cause symptoms like side pain, blood in urine, or high blood pressure. Risk factors include dehydration, certain medications, and other health issues. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests, and treatment may involve medications to dissolve the clot or address underlying causes. Prompt medical attention is essential to prevent complications and protect kidney function.
