Significant changes in glomeruli on light microscopy has been observed in 27 of 109 cadaveric renal allografts which functioned beyond 6 months. Tissue was available for study from all but two allografts. The histologic lesions were classified as follows: recurrent glomeruloneophritis, 9 cases (3 focal scierosis, 2 mesangial immunoglobulin A[IgA] disease, 2 mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, 1 dense deposit disease, 1 familial nephritis); de novo glomerulonephritis, 1 case (diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescents); and glomerular change of uncertain etiology, 17 cases (10 mesangiocapillary, 5 focal scierosis, 1 focal proliferative and 1 mesangial proliferative). These lesions were not distinguishable on light, fluorescent and electron microscopy from those in patients with spontaneous renal disease. All patients with glomerular lesions had proteinuria, and all but 3 had microscopic hematuria. Glomerular lesions were not significantly associated with early clinical rejection episodes or HLA compatibility. Presensitization of HLA antigens was significantly related to the occurence of a nonrecurrent glomerular lesion. Vescoureteral reflux was significantly more frequent in those with glomerular change (14 of 24) than in those without (13 of 48). Glomerular lesions were associated with a higher rate of graft loss due to renal transplant failure; renal function in survivors was significantly worse than in those without glomerular lesions.
