Renal vein thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus: association with the "lupus anticoagulant". 1984

R A Asherson, and J G Lanham, and R G Hull, and M L Boey, and A E Gharavi, and G R Hughes

Two patients with lupus erythematosus and renal vein thrombosis are described. Both patients had the "lupus anti-coagulant" in their serum. It is postulated that in these patients the clotting tendency could be favoured by a cross reaction of the "lupus anti-coagulant" with phospholipids in the endothelial cell membrane, resulting in inhibition of prostacyclin release.

D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system.
