We not only confirmed an abnormal serum sFlt-1/PlGF ratio but also presented the histology compatible with pure PE in the kidney and placenta in a case of nephrotic syndrome before 20 weeks of gestation. The serum sFlt-1/PlGF ratio may be useful in determining the treatment strategy for atypical cases of pregnant women with nephrotic syndrome, particularly before 20 weeks of gestation.
