Abstract
The association of renal failure with catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome has been reported in the context of microvascular occlusions and/or malignant hypertension. We describe a 36-year-old woman who died of multiorgan failure with the laboratory, clinical and histopathological characteristics of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome associated with a crescentic glomerulonephritis and renal failure.
