Abstract
Wegener granulomatosis is an autoimmune small vessel vasculitis highly associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and characterized by necrotizing granuloma of respiratory tract, disseminated vasculitis and glomerulonephritis. Its clinical manifestations and organ involvement arevery widely. The etiology of Wegener granulomatosis is linked to environmental and infectious triggers inciting onset of disease in genetically predisposed individuals. Complications most often occur when the disease is not treated. Kidney disease causes glomerulonephritis with hematuria. It can quickly get worse with kidney failure, but can be prevented when the condition are controlled by medicines. We report a case of a pregnant woman with Wegener
