Renal manifestations of the antiphospholipid syndrome.
[sneddon syndrome]
Renal
thrombotic
manifestations
have
been
reported
since
the
earliest
descriptions
of
the
antiphospholipid
(
Hughes
)
syndrome
(
APS
)
.
The
spectrum
of
clinical
features
associated
with
antiphospholipid
nephropathy
continues
to
widen
.
This
review
will
highlight
recent
developments
such
as
the
prevalence
of
hypertension
,
livedo
reticularis
and
renal
artery
stenosis
as
well
as
the
ultrastructural
changes
seen
in
antiphospholipid
nephropathy
.
The
increasing
risks
of
renal
transplantation
in
antiphospholipid
antibody
positive
patients
is
also
discussed
leading
some
authors
to
question
whether
these
patients
should
undergo
transplantation
at
all
.
