A Case of Cerebral Infarction with Nephrotic Syndrome

저자들은 신증후군으로 진단하여 스테로이드 치료를 받던 5세 남아에서 과응고 상태로 인한 후두부 뇌경색의 발생을 경험하였기에, 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Nephrotic syndrome is known to be associated with a hypercoagulable state and thromboembolic complications. The pathogenic mechanisms are unclear yet, however, various alterations in coagulant and anti-coagulant factors may be responsible. Venous thromboembolic complications have been widely reported, but arterial thrombosis is relatively rare. We discribe a 4-year-old boy who was presented with acute cerebral infarction and was found to have a hypercoagulable state due to nephrotic syndrome.
