Popis: A twenty-one year old woman with severe and prolonged renal failure associated with the acute onset of jaundice following delivery is described. The clinical, pathological and biochemical findings were consistent with fatty liver of pregnancy complicated by renal failure. The ultrastructural morphology of the renal lesion is described in detail and the changes in the glomeruli are interpreted as compatible with a lesion produced by intraglomerular fibrin formation. Such an event may have been the cause of the renal failure in this case.
