Pregnancy in women with lupus, particularly those with lupus nephritis (LN), carries an increased risk of adverse outcomes. Women with active LN at the time of conception are at a high risk of poor maternal and fetal outcomes.

The lipid lowering drugs are generally contraindicated and lipoprotein apheresis (LA) is the only accepted treatment in HoFH pregnant woman. Liposorber D, an LA technique on whole blood, has good efficacy, safety, and short operative time.
