Complications

In renal failure, especially nephrotic syndrome, antithrombin is lost in the urine, leading to a higher activity of Factor II and Factor X and in increased tendency to thrombosis.

Blood clots can cause death, especially if they are in the lungs.

Prognosis

Most patients have a good outcome if they stay on anticoagulant medications.
