Post-partum bilateral renal cortical necrosis in antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus

Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2013 May;24(3):549-52. doi: 10.4103/1319-2442.111064.

Abstract

In the presence of systemic lupus erythematosus or related autoimmune disorders, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is termed secondary APS. Pregnancy-related renal failure due to SAPS is rarely reported in the literature. We present the case of a young primgravida woman with bilateral renal cortical necrosis due to secondary APS in late pregnancy.
