At autopsy the renal veins are occluded by premortem thrombi, and the kidneys are moderately enlarged, showing interstitial edema and fibrosis and tubular changes.Thrombosis of the renal veins was reviewed by Abeshous5in 1945. In the "primary type," usually seen during infancy, extrinsic factors do not give rise to the thromboses. The thrombotic process is initiated in the renal vein or the intrarenal tributaries....Bibliography1. BradleyTyson SEC: The nephrotic syndrome—medical progress, New England J.
