Obstetric APLA syndrome: Catastrophe hidden in iceberg

Fatima Khan, Atin Singhai, Suresh Babu.


Abstract
Obstetric Antiphopholipid Syndrome (OAPS) is a serious threat in pregnancy leading to, either or both, maternal and fetal morbidity / mortality. We present here a case of young primigravida, pre-eclamptic female with intrauterine fetal death and subsequent postpartum renal cortical necrosis. Association with antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA) as a causative factor for these catastrophic events was established only during workup of renal biopsy reporting. This case highlights the importance of including APLA as a screening investigation during antenatal care especially in developing and underdeveloped countries.

Key words: Obstetric, Antibodies, Renal cortical necrosis
