Abstract
Pregnancy during familial Mediterranean fever complicated with amyloid osis and severe nephrotic syndrome is rare and may cause several mater nal and fetal complications. Asymmetrical intrauterine growth retardat ion, superimposed preeclampsia, thromboembolic phenomena, resistant an emia and renal failure only partially represent the possible complicat ions. A successful outcome of a full-term pregnancy is presented and t he efficiency of colchicine, a high protein diet, acetylsalicylic acid and dipyridamole is discussed.
