There is little information about pregnancy outcomes in patients with active membranous nephropathy (MN), especially those with circulating autoantibodies to M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), the major autoantigen in primary MN. Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) represents an immunologically mediated disease characterized by deposition of immune complexes in the glomerular subepithelial space, frequently associated with circulating M-type phospholipase A2 receptor. Nephrotic syndrome (massive proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia) at diagnosis predicts poor prognosis. Pregnancy with active MGN is high risk for foetal loss, intrauterine growth restriction, and pre-eclampsia, and may worsen maternal renal function, especially with the presence of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLA). We report a 23-year-old gravida in her first pregnancy, suffering from MGN and severe nephrotic syndrome, complicated by APLA syndrome. The patient was treated with enoxaparin, aspirin azathioprine, and Prednisone for a short time, in addition to furosemide and albumin intravenously. She was delivered at 30 weeks due to deteriorating maternal and foetal conditions. A successful neonatal and maternal outcome was achieved in this case. The patient's history revealed thrombocytopenia and APLA syndrome and continues to be treated chronically with enoxaparin. Kidney biopsy performed after delivery showed membranous MGN stage II-III. Herein, we present a case of successful pregnancy and foetal outcome in a young woman with APLA syndrome and MN. Keywords: Membranous GN, Nephrotic Syndrome, Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies.
