A Cohort Study of Incidences and Risk Factors for Thromboembolic Events in Patients with Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy

ConclusionsPatients with IMN have increased incidences of ATEs and VTEs, and most of events occurred within the first 6 months of the disease. IS was very common in ATEs in our cohort. Severe proteinuria and classic risk factors for atherosclerosis were associated with onset of ATEs. Hypoalbuminemia independently predicted VTEs. Risks of both ATEs and VTEs were particularly high in the status of NS, particularly VTEs.
