In SLE patients with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) and acute renal failure (ARF), the most common associated renal injury is proliferative lupus nephritis. We report a case of a young SLE patient with DAH and ARF who was successfully treated with a course of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) plus pulse IV cyclophosphamide. Kidney biopsy revealed an alternative diagnosis. J. Clin. Apheresis 27:263–264, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
