title: Gromerulocystic Kidney Disease in a Transplanted Kidney: Case Report.
abstract: The patient was a 28-year-old man with chronic kidney disease in stage 5 and in the course of chronic membranoroliferative glomerulonephritis. The patient was treated for a period of 2 months using peritoneal dialysis. In September 2014, he had a kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Four months after transplantation the patient was admitted to the hospital for a protocol biopsy. His creatinine was 1.5 mg/dL and urea was 59 mg/dL, urinalysis was normal in blood count with a normocytic anemia-hemoglobin level of 7.8 mmol/L. We obtained a histopathological evaluation of the cortex and medulla of the kidney. Glomeruli dilatation of Bowman space with reduced glomerular capillary tufts was found in the section. Histopathological evaluation indicated gromerulocystic kidney disease in a transplanted kidney.
