[edit] Presentation

This thrombosis can lead to imbalances in blood clotting factor. Its symptoms may include blood in urine or being diminished in volume.

[edit] Diagnosis

CT angiography can be used in diagnosis.^[1]

[edit] Treatment

Surgery to remove the clot is possible, but rarely performed.

Anticoagulation therapy can have some benefits.^[2]
