“…32 Disadvantages include, higher cost, need for anaesthesia in children and claustrophobic adults and marginally inferior sensitivity and specificity compared to CT scan. 33 Inferior venacavography and selective renal venography is the definitive diagnostic test. A patent IVC without any filling defects in conjunction with clearance of the contrast by the renal vein practically rules out the diagnosis of RVT.…”

We selected 60 references based on the above criteria. Renal vein thrombosis is relatively rare. CT angiography is considered the investigation of choice. Alternatives include MR angiography or renal venography in highly selected patients. As the condition is relatively uncommon, consensus on the best form of therapy for this condition has been slow to evolve. The trend in management has shifted to non-surgical therapies particularly systemic anticoagulation except in highly selected group of patients.

“…RVT with magnetic resonance (MR) angiography can be diagnosed quickly and without nephrotoxicity and radiation. 4 A definitive diagnosis is reached using inferior vena cavagraphy and selective renal venography. These are invasive methods and may cause endothelial damage, so these methods are not preferred.…”
