Abstract EN
Early onset pre-eclampsia (pre-eclampsia at less than 34 gestational weeks) is a severe form of preeclampsia; in addition, some women may also develop nephrotic range proteinuria.
De novo diagnosis of lupus nephritis (LN) in pregnancy is challenging as it may present with features similar to commonly occurring preeclampsia.
We report three cases of early onset pre-eclampsia with nephrotic range proteinuria and subsequent diagnosis of LN at the Women and Children hospital attached to Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India, between 2014 and 2017.
These cases highlights the need for further evaluation of the association between nephrotic-range proteinuria and early onset pre-eclampsia.
The index of suspicion for underlying LN of these type of cases should be high.
Earlier detection of LN will prompt better management that can avert or delay short- and long-term morbidity.
