Abstract
Recent reports have indicated that nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is related to anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and/or lupus anticoagulant (LA). We describe a patient with SLE complicated by NRH, who did not show neither aCL nor LA activity. This case suggests that the pathogenesis of NRH in patients with autoimmune diseases is heterogeneous and not confined to aCL and LA.Keywords
