RESUMEN
Thrombosis is one of the important complications of nephrotic syndrome. Still, the mechanism of thrombosis of nephrotic syndrome is under debate, but the presence of hypercoagulable state in nephrotic syndrome is regarded as the principal contributing factor to that. Venous thrombosis in nephrotic syndrome has been increasingly reported, but arterial thrombosis is relatively rare and has been reported mainly in nephrotic children. Authors experienced a 35-year old male patient with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, who complained sudden onset of claudication, cold sensation, numbness and cyanosis of right lower extremity. A diagnosis of thrombosis in right common iliac artery and thromboses in septal and distal branch of left anterior descending coronary artery was made by arterial angiography. The patient fully recovered after emergent thrombectomy and anticoagulation therapy.
