Özet

The benefits of thrombolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction are now well established. However many uncertainties, such as adverse effects, are still remain in venous thromboembolic disease. We describe a unique patient who treated with streptokinase for the methylen tetrahydrofolate reductase mutation associated acute deep vein thrombosis and massive pulmonary embolism. After therapy patient developed acute anuric renal failure without an evidence of bleeding or immunologic reaction and we would like to review the renal side effects of streptokinase in patients with venous thromboembolic disease.
