Thrombosis in Abdominal Aorta Associated with Nephrotic Syndrome

Abstract

The local therapy used in the first three weeks with all patients cannot be regarded as entirely bland, but this was deliberate, as we felt the numbers of patients defaulting would thereby be diminished. In fact only two patients defaulted, and one of them attended at three weeks. For the same reason more potent local therapy was introduced at three weeks in approximately half the series, but since 18 of these received vitamin B,2 and 18 received the placebo any clear superiority of vitamin B,2 would be expected to assert itself. Actually the numbers of patients substantially improved or clear in these groups at six weeks were exactly the same-13 in each.
