    Nephrotic syndrome in pregnancy, often linked to pre-eclampsia, presents with proteinuria and hypertension. Renal biopsies show characteristic changes, suggesting intravascular coagulation may play a role.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Obstetrics & Gynecology

    Background:

    • Nephrotic syndrome and heavy proteinuria are uncommon in late pregnancy.
    • Pre-eclampsia is a significant pregnancy complication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate clinical and renal biopsy findings in pregnant patients with nephrotic syndrome.
    • To explore the potential role of intravascular coagulation in pre-eclampsia.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical evaluation of 11 pregnant patients with nephrotic syndrome.
    • Renal biopsy analysis using light, electron, and immunofluorescent microscopy.
    • Assessment of pregnancy outcomes and postpartum recovery.

    Main Results:

    • Light and electron microscopy revealed findings characteristic of pre-eclampsia.

  • Immunofluorescence showed IgG, IgM, IgA, beta 1C globulin, and fibrinogen deposits, primarily subendothelial.
  • Patients presented with hypertension and elevated uric acid; outcomes varied, with some stillbirths.
  • Postpartum resolution mirrored that of less severe pre-eclampsia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pregnancy-associated nephrotic syndrome often exhibits features of pre-eclampsia.
    • Intravascular coagulation may be implicated in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia.
    • Early identification and management are crucial for maternal and fetal well-being.
