IgA nephritis is known as the most common glomerulonephritis and a disease with good prognosis. Acute renal failure, nephrotic syndrome and malignant hypertension can be seen less than 10% of patients with IgA nephritis. Acute renal failure occurs due to crescentic IgA nephritis or tubular occlusion or tubuler injury due to severe glomerular hematuria. IgA nephritis in pregnancy have a good prognosis. On the other hand; the most common renal complication during pregnancy is development of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia occurs in approximately 5% of all pregnancies. Underlying renal pathology increases the risk of preeclampsia.
We presented this case with cresentic IgA nephritis with severe preeclampsia to emphasize this issue.
