Abstract EN
We present a case of 28-year-old female, who had a past obstetrical history complicated by uncontrolled blood pressure, early onset preeclampsia, and a fetal demise at 29 weeks.
Her blood pressure normalized after each pregnancy, and no diagnosis of renal disease was ever established.
In her most recent pregnancy, she remained normotensive and initially presented with normal blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels.
However, after the early first trimester, she developed nephrotic range proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and peripheral edema.
After delivery of the baby, all clinical symptoms rapidly resolved and laboratory values normalized.
We review the clinical course, diagnosis, and management of new onset nephrotic syndrome in pregnancy.
