We describe a 48-year-old woman with loin pain-hematuria syndrome. Her renal abnormalities included conspicuous microaneurysmal and glomeruloid (plexiform) angiomatous changes. The deposition of both properdin and the C5b-9 complex, as well as the usual C3, in arterioles argues for complement activation. To our knowledge, neither of these features has been previously described.
