Early Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis as a Cause of Delayed Graft Function With Combined Acute Antibody Rejection: A Case Report.
Transplantation Proceedings 2018 October
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the most common form of post-transplant glomerulonephritis. We describe a case where a biopsy proved that early recurrence of FSGS on postoperative day 1 was the cause of delayed graft function. A 39-year-old man, on hemodialysis for 15 years due to polycystic kidney disease, received a cadaveric renal transplantation. On postoperative day 1, his hourly urine output decreased from 700-800 mL to 50 mL. The graft biopsy showed a mild acute kidney injury confusing nephrotic syndrome. On postoperative day 45, his creatinine level increased to 3.02 mg/dL with severe proteinuria. A kidney biopsy showed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. On postoperative day 120, his creatinine level elevated again, concomitant with proteinuria. A kidney biopsy showed FSGS with antibody-mediated rejection. After plasmapheresis, his creatinine level decreased to 1.3 mg/dL with mild proteinuria. Once active in the allograft, de novo FSGS is a potentially aggressive process. In this case, it could be managed because of an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
