title: Successful transplantation of a cadaveric kidney with post-infectious glomerulonephritis.
abstract: This report describes a successful renal Tx in a patient with chronic renal failure, caused by dysplastic kidneys, who received a cadaveric kidney with post-infectious glomerulonephritis. Sequential renal biopsies were performed at 12 h before Tx, and at 1 h and on days 8 and 58 post-Tx. Post-operative hematuria disappeared on day 9 and proteinuria on day 13. Normal graft function was observed within 1 month, with histologic resolution. Our study suggests that while the donor kidney facilitates deposition of certain immune reactants, this is a host (environmental) problem and when transplanted into a new host (new environment), the problem is no longer sustained.
