چکیده
The present study was designed to evaluate prothrombotic risk profiles in 59 consecutively recruited white neonates with renal venous thrombosis (RVT). The rates of prothrombotic risk factors (PRs)—for example, the factor V (FV) 1691G>A mutation, the factor II (FII) 20210G>A variant, antithrombin (AT), protein C (PC), protein S (PS), elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), total fasting plasma homocysteine (tHcy) levels, and anticardiolipin antibodies (ACAs)—were compared with those of 118 healthy control children. At onset, 32 (54.2%) of the 59 neonates showed underlying clinical conditions; 40 (67.8%) of them and 23 (85.2%) of the 27 infants with idiopathic RVT showed at least one PR. Univariate analysis revealed significantly elevated odds ratios/95% confidence intervals (ORs/95% CIs) for FV and Lp(a). Additionally, PC/AT deficiency and ACAs were found significantly more often in the patient group (P .04). Multivariate analysis calculated significant ORs/95% CIs only for FV (OR, 9.4; 95% CI, 3.3-26.6) and elevated Lp(a) (OR, 7.6; 95% CI, 2.4-23.8). Of the 59 neonates investigated, 53 revealed renal atrophy, and 13 children additionally suffered from severe arterial hypertension. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates the significance of genetic PR—especially the FV mutation and elevated Lp(a)—for the etiology of neonatal RVT. (Blood. 2004;104:1356-1360)

Long-term outcome of transfemoral thrombectomy in patients with acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis
Abstract Background: The optimal therapy of acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis is still a matter of debate. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the late results of iliofemoral thrombectomy with regard to the prevention of the development of a Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS). Methods: During 2000-2003, 18 patients underwent transfemoral venous thrombectomy for acute iliofemoral venous thro...

Among children, newborn infants are most vulnerable to development of thrombosis and serious thromboembolic complications. Amongst newborns, those neonates who are critically ill, both term and preterm, are at greatest risk for developing symptomatic thromboembolic disease. The most important risk factors are inflammation, DIC, impaired liver function, fluctuations in cardiac output, and congen...
متن کاملRecurrence rate after a first venous thrombosis in patients with familial thrombophilia.
OBJECTIVE Few comprehensive data are available on the recurrence rate of venous thrombosis in carriers of thrombophilic defects from thrombophilic families. We prospectively determined the recurrence rate after a first venous thrombotic event in patients with familial thrombophilia attributable to factor V Leiden or deficiencies of protein C, S, or antithrombin. METHODS AND RESULTS Data were ...

Thromboembolic events represent the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with polycythemia vera. Leukocytosis has been identified as an important risk factor for development of vascular thrombosis. A 47-year-old woman with polycythemia vera presented with pain and swelling in her right calf. She was scheduled to receive anagrelide which was effective on polycythemia and thrombocyto...

Abstract Arterial ischemic stroke defines as a new focal neurologic deficit that lasted 24 hours or longer. Stroke is relatively rare in children and incidence of cerebrovascular disease is 1 per 4000 in neonates and 1 per 7000 to 1 per 70000 in older children (1 month to 18 years). Protein S deficiency is one of the causes of the stroke in children. Major manifestations of protein S deficienc...
