A case of rapidly progressive nephritis is reported in a female patient having systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with antiphospholipid syndrome. Clinical presentation of progressive lupus nephritis with intensifying renal insufficiency, arterial hypertension, hematuria, nephrotic syndrome was associated with unusual morphological manifestations of mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis with advanced vasculitis. The authors attribute a malignant nephritis course atypical for patients with antiphospholipid syndrome to development of renal vasculitis. The discussion covers lupus genesis of vascular involvement, a probable triggering role of antibodies to phospholipids in impairment of endothelial cells.
