Abstract
Introduction: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is characterized by swelling, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, or hyperlipidemia. The incidence of NS depends on the country and ethnicity and is highest in Asia than in Europe. Nephrotic syndrome can cause complications such as arterial thromboembolism (ATE) due to a hypercoagulable state. Case Presentation: We encountered a 9-year-old boy with NS and infarct stroke, which was treated with corticosteroid and low molecular weight of heparin with clinical improvement. Conclusions: We recommend that all NS children with high platelet levels perform thromboelastography (TEG) examination and use prophylactic anticoagulation with monitoring of bleeding risk during therapy.
