title: [Recurrent lupus nephritis in kidney transplantation].
abstract: A case of recurrent lupus nephritis involving a renal allograft in a 28-year-old woman is described. The transplant was made after 2 years of hemodialysis. The allograft function remained stable for 2 years after the transplant. Clinical course, serologic tests, and renal histopathologic findings at the time of recurrence paralleled those seen in the patient's primary disease. There were no changes of transplant rejection. One year of follow-up shows a stable allograft renal function despite the histological and clinical recurrence of systemic lupus erythematosus.
