Abstract

We report the case of a 26 year old woman who presented a Henoch Schönlein purpura at 13 weeks' gestation. IgA glomerulonephritis without pejoratif feature was confirmed by renal biopsy. Corticosteroid therapy was unsuccessful on nephrotic syndrome. At 25 weeks' gestation foetal death occurred followed by a rapid development of end stage renal failure.
