Primary tabs

Uwonkunda, M R Cosyns, Jean-Pierre [UCL] Devogelaer, Jean-Pierre [UCL] Houssiau, Frédéric [UCL]

The authors report an unusual case of acute renal failure occurring in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid antibodies. Kidney biopsy revealed glomerular thrombosis, in the absence of glomerulonephritis. The authors stress the clinical and biological signs that suggest the thrombotic nature of kidney failure in lupus patients.
