We present a case of a pregnant patient with fulminant systemic lupus erythematosus complicated by alveolar hemorrhage, a rare and potentially fatal manifestation of lupus. It typically presents in the context of a pulmonary-renal syndrome. Active lupus nephritis with hypoalbuminemia is a major risk factor for alveolar hemorrhage. Treatment with high-dose corticosteroids is the mainstay of therapy.
