Antiphospholipid syndrome and renal artery stenosis

Sir,

The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), first described in 1983, has become recognized not only as a major cause of venous and arterial thrombosis, but as a model for accelerated arterial disease.1 In this prothrombotic condition, all organs are potentially targeted. The renal manifestations have included intraglomerular thrombi (thrombotic micro-angiopathy) and renal infarcts. Renal artery stenosis has only rarely been reported. In 1991, we reported a case of renal artery thrombosis associated with the syndrome.2 We here report five cases with documented renal artery stenosis and antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) (Table 1Go).
