Neonatal renal venous thrombosis

medium confidence

Also known as: NRVT · Neonatal RVT

Clinical definition (Orphanet)

A rare vascular condition characterized by the formation of a thrombus (blood clot) in the renal vein of a newborn infant, typically within the first 28 days of life. This condition can cause renal (kidney) ischemia, and may lead to kidney damage, swelling, and potential loss of kidney function. renal vein thrombosis (NRVT) can affect one kidney (unilateral) or both kidneys (bilateral), with the severity of symptoms often depending on the extent of the clot and the number of affected kidneys.

How rare: How common this is has not been clearly measured.

India — NPRD

Last verified 2026-07-26

This ORPHAcode is not on our curated NPRD list (direct or Mondo-parent match). That does not decide clinical eligibility; families in India should ask a notified Centre of Excellence about current coverage.

Hand-curated for this project. ORPHAcode mappings are best-effort and may be incomplete or imprecise for umbrella categories. Parent (Mondo) matches mean the policy lists a broader category — confirm eligibility with a Centre of Excellence. Financial entitlements summarised from public policy statements and may change. This is not official government guidance.
