Thrombotic microangiopathy in membranous lupus nephritis
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease having various clinical and pathological manifestations. The vascular manifestations of SLE range from most common uncomplicated vascular immune deposits to rare renal vasculitis. The non-immune, non-inflammatory thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare vascular manifestation of SLE, which is therapeutically challenging. We present here a unique case of a young female with lupus membranous nephropathy, complicated by TMA.

We report 2 complicated cases of thrombotic microangiopathy with chronic features and active components. The first case was a 36-yr-old woman with positive anti-DNA antibody and possible lupus cerebritis, who developed thrombotic microangiopathy secondary to a series of syndromes, including preeclampsia and anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome. Renal biopsy revealed no evidence of lupus nephriti...

متن کاملAcute and chronic toxic nephropathies.
Toxic nephropathies manifest morphologically as glomerulonephritides, vasculitides, tubular necrosis, and acute or chronic tubulointerstitial disease. The most common toxicity is acute interstitial nephritis owing to hypersensitivity. However, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and necrotizing angiitis secondary to heroin abuse, membranous glomerulopathy owing to gold, penicillamine and captopr...
