Renal artery

🩺 Clot Classroom: Renal Vein Thrombosis (RVT). When a blood clot forms in the vein that drains blood from your kidney, it’s called renal vein thrombosis. Think of it like a clogged pipe: when blood can’t flow out properly, your kidney can’t do its job of filtering and cleaning your blood. 💡 Did you know? In adults, RVT is often linked to nephrotic syndrome, where certain conditions can make the kidneys too “leaky.” Learning the signs helps you protect your health. Learn more here: bit.ly/4pUT7
