Thromboembolism is a well-known complication of nephrotic syndrome. Pulmonary embolism, renal vein thrombosis, and deep vein thrombosis are the most common venous thromboembolic diseases in patients with nephrotic syndrome, while arterial thromboembolic complications are observed less frequently. Imaging plays an important role in the detection and follow-up of thromboembolism in these patients. The purpose of this essay is to describe the epidemiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, the imaging diagnosis, and treatment of thromboembolism in patients with nephrotic syndrome.
