Abstract
Introduction: The clinical spectrum of microangiopathy disorders is vast, and needs a great clinical skill to find the origin, especially in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, in whom it is necessary to consider: associated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, antip-hospholipid syndrome, generally of the catastrophic type; localised microangiopathy, or malignant hypertension. Objective: Using the results reported in the literature, the aim of this article is to describe the frequency, causes and clinical features of thrombotic microangiopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods: Structured non-systematic review of the literature. Results: The review included a total of 51 articles (42 from database searches and 9 referenced in these) on the previously mentioned variables, were included.
