ABSTRACT
Hypercoagulability, resulting in thromboembolic events, can be a life-threatening complication of nephrotic syndrome. Many factors expose to hypercoaguability: the leakage of coagulation inhibitors in the urine, imbalance in the fibrinolytic system, hyperlipidemia, as well as genetic predisposition.
