renal artery thrombosis treatment :: Article Creator What To Know About Renal Vein Thrombosis Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is when a blood clot develops anywhere along the renal vein. This is the vein that drains blood from the kidneys. RVT is rare but can be life threatening. People with renal vein thrombosis (RVT) have a blood clot, also known as a thrombus, in the vein that carries blood away from their kidneys. If a thrombus grows so large that it completely blocks the renal vein, the kidneys swell and cannot function properly. The person may experience acute pain in their side. They may also notice a reduced need to urinate, and they may have blood in their urine. The renal veins join the inferior vena cava, which is the main vein returning blood to the heart. If any part of a renal vein thrombosis breaks away from the main clot, it can travel to the lungs. Blood clots here can be fatal. This article explains what RVT is and how do...

clogged vein symptoms :: Article Creator Dear Doctor: New Infrared Vein Finders, Bedside Ultrasounds Make Putting In IVs Much Easier DEAR DR. ROACH: A recent column was about a person who fainted when getting blood drawn. My problem is that no one seems to be able to put an IV into me. Any ideas? -- L.L. ANSWER: Some people just don't have very prominent veins, and they can be hard to find. Phlebotomy nurses are the best at finding veins and getting IVs in. As an intern, I feared those few times when the phlebotomy nurse couldn't find a vein, as it usually meant putting an intravenous catheter into a central vein, which is a minor surgical procedure done at the bedside with some risks. Now, infrared vein finders and bedside ultrasounds have made putting in IVs much easier, and the requirement for central veins is much less common. Since I wrote that column, the most common additional suggestions I received were to take onesel...
