There are acquired and inherited thrombophilia; both of them are considered as risk factors for arterial, venous and microcirculatory thrombosis. Kidney disease in patients with a genetic polymorphism of coagulation factors are manifested as renal vein and artery thrombosis, and thrombosis of renal microvasculature - thrombotic microangiopathy. Combination of thrombotic microangiopathy and chronic glomerulonephritis further the disease progression due to progressive nephrosclerosis.
