Collapsing Glomerulopathy during Pregnancy: A Case Series.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Preeclampsia, a leading cause of morbidity during pregnancy, is associated with glomerular endotheliosis, fibrin deposition, and thrombotic microangiopathy and is characterized by edema, proteinuria, and acute kidney injury. Preeclampsia has been described on a background of glomerular disease membranous nephropathy, IgA nephropathy, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, but biopsy studies have also described the de novo diagnosis of glomerulopathy as thrombotic microangiopathy, endotheliosis or collapsing glomerulopathy in the setting of preeclampsia.

Case presentations

We report 3 cases of preeclampsia-associated collapsing focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis in the third trimester of gestation, two of which were previously healthy and one with a history
