Trombosis de la vena renal - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Coágulo en la vena renal; Oclusión en la vena renal

Tratamiento:

El tratamiento se centra en evitar la formación de nuevos coágulos y en la reducción del riesgo de que los coágulos viajen a otras partes del cuerpo (embolia).

Usted puede recibir medicamentos que impidan la formación de coágulos de sangre (anticoagulantes) para detener la formación de coágulos nuevos. El médico le puede recomendar reposo en cama o poca actividad durante un período corto.

Si se presenta insuficiencia renal aguda, se puede necesitar diálisis, pero debe ser temporal.

Pronóstico:

Generalmente, la trombosis de la vena renal mejora con el tiempo sin que se presente lesión permanente en los riñones.

Posibles complicaciones:

  • Insuficiencia renal aguda (especialmente si la trombosis se presenta en un niño deshidratado).
  • Coágulo de sangre que se desplaza hacia los pulmones (embolia pulmonar).
  • Formación de nuevos coágulos de sangre.

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Consulte con el médico si tiene síntomas trombosis de la vena renal.

Asimismo, consulte si ha tenido trombosis de la vena renal y presenta disminución del gasto urinario, dificultad para respirar u otros síntomas nuevos.
