In patients with proteinuria in the nephrotic range, the risk of VTE is thought to be secondary to the loss of anticoagulant proteins, but in those with microalbuminuria the increased risk is more likely to relate to endothelial injury -- with or without the changes in procoagulant protein levels, the researchers explained.
