Core Tip Pregnancy in women with lupus, particularly lupus nephritis (LN), carries an increased risk of adverse outcomes. Women with active LN at conception are at a high risk of poor maternal and fetal outcomes. Pre-conception evaluation is essential to ensure proper planning for optimizing medical regimens, discontinuing teratogenic agents, and treating active disease. Women with prior LN can have successful pregnancies, but a multidisciplinary approach with close monitoring is essential. This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the complex interaction between LN and pregnancy, offering insights to guide clinical practice and future research in this field.
