ABSTRACT
Antiphospholipid syndrome is a thrombotic disorder characterized by the association of arterial and venous thrombosis with the antibodies directed toward phospholipids. The presence of these antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) has been shown to be related to several clinical and analytical alterations. We experienced one case of lupus nephritis with positive antiphospholipid antibodies in a 10-year-old girl whose chief complaint was persistent microscopic hematuria. We report this case with a brief review of related literatures. (J. Korean Soc Pediatr Nephrol 2001 ;5 : 219-24)
