TS Dabade, JP Grande, SM Norby, FC Fervenza… - American Journal of …, 2008 - Elsevier
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. MN
can recur after kidney transplantation causing proteinuria, allograft dysfunction and graft
failure. In this study we assessed the incidence of MN recurrence utilizing surveillance graft
biopsies. The study included 1310 renal allograft recipients from 2000 to 2006. Glomerular
diseases were the cause of kidney failure in 28% of patients and 23 (2%) had idiopathic MN.
Recurrent MN was diagnosed in eight of 19 patients included in this analysis (42%) 13±20 …
