5. Causes: Renal Vein Thrombosis

Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is the medical term for a blood clot in the kidney. Decreased urine output, lower back pain, and blood in the urine are symptoms of RVT, but the symptoms may be mild if the clot is small. Some people may also experience pain in the hips, fever, nausea, and vomiting, although this is more common in children and adolescents. RVT can lead to severe damage if left untreated. Depending on the severity, individuals may require medication, dialysis, or surgery. Renal vein thrombosis is more common in people who have medical conditions such as the kidney disorder nephrotic syndrome.
