Description
Nutcracker syndrome (NS) refers to compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery which results in left renal venous hypertension. The typical clinical presenting feature is hematuria. In this report we describe the case of patient with a single kidney who developed severe proteinuria due to NS. She was successfully treated with left renal vein transposition. This case clearly shows the relation between NS and severe proteinuria based on normal biopsy findings and the complete disappearance of proteinuria following surgery.
