Focal glomerulosclerosis in neonatal kidney grafts.
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.
