ABSTRACT
In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), acute renal failure (ARF) is usually associated with severe lupus nephritis and ARF associated with other glomerular diseases is extremely rare. We recently encountered a patient with ARF that was associated with a minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) in SLE. A 41-year-old woman presented with a nephrotic syndrome and ARF. She fulfilled four of the American College of Rheumatology criteria for the classification of SLE. However, a renal biopsy revealed that there were no glomerular abnormalities and no deposition of immune complex. The generalized edema disappeared and the high creatinine levels decreased after prednisolone therapy.
