Abstract
Introduction. Thrombosis and thromboembolism are frequent complications in chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) with nephrotic syndrome (NS), despite the use of anticoagulant therapy. Therefore, the questions of thrombosis risk assessment and thrombotic complication prevention in NS are still relevant.Aim. Description of the frequency and localisation of thromboembolic complications in CGN-NS patients and a review of approaches to their risk assessment and prevention.Main findings. The main risk predictors of venous thrombosis in NS are considered, including low serum albumin, high plasma D-dimer, age over 60 and hypovolemic conditions. The risk of arterial thrombosis is determined by general population factors: age, gender, smoking, diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension. Venous thrombosis may be asymptomatic and mainly occurs in deep lower limb veins, renal veins and branches of pulmonary artery. Among the NS-associated CGN morphotypes of high risk are membranous nephropathy and membranoproliferative CGN. Issues in the thrombotic complication risk assessment, prevention and treatment are highlighted.
