An Unusual Complication of Mesenteric-Portal Axis Thrombosis and Septic Shock in a Patient with Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis

Abstract

Thromboembolic events contribute to the most serious outcomes in patients with nephrotic syndrome. We report a case of a young male patient with mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis presenting with nephrotic syndrome, which rapidly progressed to mesenteric and portal veins thrombosis and septic shock, ultimately leading to death.
