Abstract

Although there is a strong connection between the Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and clotting formation, SLE with initial manifestations of Renal Vein Thrombosis is rare. Thrombosis of the renal vein (RVT) has been observed in patients with various types of APS, such as aPl-positive patients with lupus nephritis. This is a case of a 30-year-old man admitted to the Emergency Room (ER) because of mild hemoptysis and transient hematuria for 9 days. He had experienced right quadrant abdominal pain, right flank pain, and fever for 40 days before admission. Due to pain, the patient underwent an appendectomy but did not recover and pathological examination and clinical picture led to a diagnosis of SLE. In general, the mainstay of treatment for RVT is anticoagulation. He was medical treatment with anticoagulation and corticosteroid and cytotoxic drugs. So abdominal and flank pain could be an initial and unspecific symptom in RVT for patients with SLE.
