Abstract
Anti phospholipid antibody syndrome (SAPL) is an individualized chronic autoimmune disease such as the combination of thromboses and / or obstetric morbidity and the lasting presence of antibodies to phospholipids and / or their protein cofactors. SAPL is a rare disease. The progress made has led to a better stratification of the individual thrombotic risk. The treatment of SAPL is based on anti thrombotic drugs. We report the case of a patient admitted for accutization of chronic renal failure on bilateral thrombosis of the renal arteries in whom the immunological balance revealed the presence of circulating lupus type anticoagulants making it possible to retain the diagnosis of anti phospholipid antibodies.
