Overview
Chest Xray
Chest xray may show signs of pleural effusion.[1]
Renal Doppler Ultrasound
Renal and abdominal Doppler ultrasound may be required to investigate for renal etiologies and complications of disease, such as renal vein thrombosis.[1] Kidney size and signs of obstruction during assessment are also important.[1] Doppler ultrasound of the extremities is indicated if patients with nephrotic syndrome present with suspected deep vein thrombosis.
Other Imaging Modalities
Renal vein thrombosis may require any of venography, CT scan, or MRI for appropriate diagnosis.[2]
