Venous thromboembolism prevention for nephrotic syndrome: The role of aspirin, vitamin K antagonists and direct oral anticoagulants

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) carries a significantly elevated risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE), contributing to morbidity and mortality. Current guidelines for VTE prophylaxis in NS are based on limited evidence, primarily from observational studies.
