Nephrotic syndrome is one of the best-known presentations of adult or pediatric kidney disease. The term describes the association of heavy proteinuria with peripheral edema, hypoalbuminemia, and hypercholesterolemia.

Thromboembolism is a complication of nephrotic syndrome. Pulmonary embolism, renal vein thrombosis, and deep vein thrombosis are the most common venous thromboembolic diseases in patients with nephrotic syndrome.

Radiological imaging plays an important role in the detection and follow-up of thromboembolism in these patients.
