Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is though common form of thromboembolism in neonates yet uncommon in extremely low birth weight pre-term neonates. Neonatal thromboembolism is more commonly associated with central venous catheter but we present a case report of an extremely low birth weight preterm with left side RVT which was not associated with central venous catheter and diagnosed by using bedside point of care renal ultrasound in the NICU. Though the incidence of RVT in adults and children is very low in Asian countries, its incidence, risk factors and finale outcome in neonatal RVT may be different from other countries. Acquired as well as genetic risk factors are significantly contributes in thromboembolism in neonate and central venous lines are one of the most common acquired risk factor. However mortality rate associated with renal vein thrombosis is less than other forms of thrombosis in neonate but there is significant degree of short term as well as long term sequelae. Initiation of thrombus formation may be triggered by vascular trauma, decreased vascular blood flow, increased viscosity of blood, thrombophilia or hyper osmolality. The classical triad for the renal vein thrombosis includes thrombocytopenia, hematuria along with unilateral or bilateral mass in flank. We recognised the pitfalls in managing RVT in preterm neonates. RVT, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis while managing a preterm with hematuria or sepsis. Renal venography is the gold standard test for diagnosis of RVT however bedside renal ultrasound is very useful & prompt in diagnosing & monitoring doppler flow in renal vessels in RVT in neonates. There are no evidence based clear guidelines for management of the disease.
