AB Renal  venous  thrombosis  (RVT)  is  a  condition  in  which  a  thrombus  forms  in  the  venous  drainage  system  of  one  or  both  kidneys.  The  thrombus  can  extend  from  the  arcuate  renal  vessels  through  the  renal  vein  and  as  far  as  the  vena  cava1  (Figure  117-1).  The  condition  is  also  referred  to  as  renal  vein  thrombosis,  but  because  the  thrombus  often  extends  beyond  the  anatomic  boundaries  of  the  renal  vein  both  proximally  and  distally,  the  term  renal  venous  thrombosis  is  preferred.2
