title: Focal glomerulosclerosis in neonatal kidney grafts.
abstract: Two adult patients received both kidneys from neonatal donors. After grafting an accelerated growth of the kidneys was observed. Five weeks after transplantation the craniocaudal diameter had increased from 4 and 3.4 to 8.3 and 6.1 cm, respectively. Histological examination of the kidneys showed segmental glomerulosclerosis 24 and 3 months after grafting, respectively.
