title: Recurrence of IgA nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome after kidney transplantation.
abstract: Two patients on maintenance hemodialysis after terminal renal failure due to mesangial glomerulonephritis with IgA deposits and the nephrotic syndrome, received cadaver renal allografts. After several years of functioning transplants, both patients developed slowly progressive proteinuria and finally the nephrotic syndrome, 1 of them with renal function deterioration. Renal biopsies revealed findings indicating recurrence of the original disease.
