Abstract

Renal vascular lesions in SLE are grouped into uncomplicated vascular immune deposits, non-inflammatory necrotizing vasculopathy, thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and renal vasculitis. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare finding in patients with SLE and is associated with poor prognosis. Treatment approach for TMA with membranous nephritis is highly challenging. The present case study discusses the case of a young woman with SLE and membranous lupus nephritis, complicated by TMA.
