Abstract
Renal thrombosis (RT) in the neonatal period, paradoxically, is infrequently reported even in the very low birth weight (VLBW) infant who requires intensive care. Management of the critically ill newborn has improved greatly and prenatal care has become so widely available that in many situations, predisposing factors for RT tend to disappear. In patients with RT, questions still remain as to the actual incidence of the obvious morbidity in general and of sequelae such as hypertension and chronic renal failure.
