Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Recurrence in Allograft in a Young Bahraini Female- A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is not an infrequent cause of nephrotic syndrome in the young. The incidence is 5-15%. Renal morbidity is significant and the disease relentlessly progresses to renal failure. Failure due to steroid unresponsiveness and resistance to cytotoxic drug regimen necessitates renal transplantation. However, recurrence of the primary disease (FSGS) in the allograft poses a serious problem to the graft survival. We report a case of FSGS that recurred in the graft four months post transplantation in a sixteen year old Bahraini Female.

Treatment of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Recurrence in the Renal Allograft: A Report of Two Cases
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) causes glomerular lesions that can progress to end-stage renal disease. It is suspected to be caused by a circulating factor that is amenable to plasmapheresis removal and exhibits a risk for recurrence in the renal allograft. We present two patients with FSGS recurrence in their allograft kidneys diagnosed by biopsy after significant proteinuria develo...

Schimke immune-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder presented with specific facial features, skeletal dysplasia, steroid resistance nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and cellular immune insufficiency. This is a SIOD case reported from Iran. He was 5 years old boy when evaluated for proteinuria and short stature. In appearance, we detected hyperpigmented macules, kyphosc...
متن کاملRecurrence of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in the Renal Allograft; an Update
Patients with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have a high risk of disease recurrence post renal transplantation; this is usually characterised by significant proteinuria and associated with poor graft survival. FSGS recurrence is a challenging medical condition, not only because there is no recognised predictor of FSGS recurrence in the allograft, but also because there are no...

Primary focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the most frequently acquired disease leading to end stage renal disease (ESRD) in children (NAPRTCS 2004, annual report)1-6. The recurrence of FSGS after kidney transplantation is frequent (20-40%) and is associated with poor graft survival7-13. The pathophysiology of primary FSGS remains uncertain, but secretion of a circulating factor i...
متن کاملRecurrent Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis in Renal Allograft Recipients: Role of Human Leukocyte Antigen Mismatching and Other Clinical Variables
Recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) after renal transplantation impacts long-term graft survival and limits access to transplantation. We hypothesized that HLA donor/recipient matching could be used as a surrogate marker of recurrence. In a retrospective study of 42 pediatric and 77 adult subjects with primary FSGS, transplanted from 1990 to 2007 at a single center, we analy...
