The physiological adaptations in pregnancy can unmask underlying occult proteinuric renal disease. However, the effect of multiple pregnancies on the course of the disease is variable. We report the clinical course of a case of idiopathic membranous nephropathy through multiple pregnancies.

A 25-year-old Hispanic woman was referred to our institution for worsening generalised swelling of the body, uncontrolled hypertension and 21 g/day of proteinuria at 34 weeks' gestation during her third pregnancy. There were no stigmata suggestive of HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelet count) syndrome.
