Renal vascular thrombosis is a rare disease with possible serious outcome. At least one of the three cardinal signs is present in majority of pacients: macro or microscopic hematuria, thrombocytopenia, palpable abdominal mass. The occurence of renal vein thrombosis is more common than renal arterial thrombosis. Standard diagnostic methods are ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound scan. Management and treatment options include supportive therapy, anticoagulation therapy and thrombolytic therapy, which is preferably used for organ or life threatening events. Recent diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines are illustrated by presentation of two cases of renal vein thrombosis in term newborns in the second part of the article.
